There are two bodies of masses 100 kg and 10000 kg separated by a distance 1 m . At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero

A

`(1)/(9)m`

B

`(1)/(10)m`

C

`(1)/(11)m`

D

`(10)/(11)m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`(Gxx100)/(x^(2))=(Gxx10000)/((1-x)^(2))`
`therefore" "(10)/(x)=(100)/(1-x)" "therefore x=(1)/(11)m`
