Answer» Correct Answer - C During total eclipse total attraction due to the sun and the moon. `F_(1)=(GM_(s)M_(e))/(r_(1)^(2))+(GM_(m)M_(e))/(R_(2)^(2)` When the Moon goes on the opposite side to the earth, the effective force of attraction is `F_(2)=(GM_(s)M_(e))/(r_(1)^(2))-(GM_(m)M_(e))/(r_(2)^(2))` Change in force `/_F=F_(1)-F_(2)=(2GM_(m)M_(e))/(r_(2)^(2)` change in acceleration of the earth `/_a=(/_F)/(M_(e))=(2Gmm)/(r_(2)^(2))` Average force on the earth `F_(av)=(F_(1)+F_(2))/2=(GM_(s)M_(e))/(r_(1)^(2))` Average acceleration of the earth `a_(av)+F_(av)/(M_(e))=(GM_(s))/(r_(1)^(2))` Percentage change in acceleration is `(/_a)/a_(av)xx100=(2GM_(m))/(r_(2)^(2))xx(r_(1)^(2))/(GM_(s))xx100=2((r_(1))/(r_(2)))^(2)(M_(m))/(M_(s))xx100` |
