Six particles each of mass`m` are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon of edge length `a`. If a point mass `m_0` is placed at the centre of the hexagon, then the net gravitational force on the point mass isA. `(6Gm^(2))/(a^(2))`B. `(6Gmm_(0))/(a^(2))`C. zeroD. None

Answer» Correct Answer - C
If equal masses are placed at respective corners of a regular polygon. Then, the gravitational force on a point mass placed at centre of the regular hexagon is zero.
