Gravitational force between two point masses `m` and `M` separated by a distance `r` is `F`. Now if a point mass `3m` is placed next to `m`, what will be that a. force on `M` due to `m`, b total on `M`? |

Answer» a. If `r` is the distance between two point masses `m` and `M`, then the gravitational force on m due to mass `M` is `F=(GMm)/(r^(2))`. b. Total force on the body of mass `M` is `F`, i.e. `F=(GMxx(m+3m))/(r^(2))=(4GMm)/(r^(2))=4F` |
