Masses `2kg` and `8kg` are `18cm` apart. The point where the gravitational field due to them is zero, is

`6 cm` from `8kg` mass

`6 cm` from `2 kg` mass

`1.8 cm` from `8 kg` mass

`9 cm` from each mass

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

distance of null point,`x=d/(sqrt((m_(2))/(m_(1)))+1)` from `m_(1)`, smaller mass
