Gravitational force between two point ma...

Gravitational force between two point masses `m` and `M` separated by a distance `r` is `F`. Now if a point mass `3m` is placed very next to `m`, the total force on `M` will be

A

`F`

B

`2F`

C

`3F`

D

`4F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))`, Gravitational force between two point masses is independent of the presence of other masses.
