To find the ratio of \( \frac{m}{M} \) that maximizes the gravitational force between two parts of mass \( M \) split into \( m \) and \( (M - m) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the expression for gravitational force The gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( m \) and \( (M - m) \) separated by a distance \( R \) is given by Newton's law of gravitation: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m \cdot (M - m)}{R^2} \] ...
