How is the gravitational force between two point masses affected when they are dipped in water keeping the separation between them the same ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Gravitational force acting between two point masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2), F = (Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))`, is independent of the nature of medium between them. Therefore, gravitational force acting between two point masses will remain unaffected when they are dipped in water.
