Two particles of equal mass `'m'` go around a circle of radius `R` under the action of their mutual gravitaitonal attraction. The speed of each particle with respect to their centre of a mass is -

A

`v=1/(2R)sqrt(1/(Gm))`

B

`v=sqrt((Gm)/(2R))`

C

`v=1/2sqrt((Gm)/(R))`

D

`v=sqrt((4Gm)/R)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`(mv^(2))/R=(G.m.m)/((2R)^(2))`
`v=sqrt((Gm)/(4R))=1/2sqrt((Gm)/R)`
