There are two bodies of masses 1kg and 100 kg separated by a distance 1 m. At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero?

A

`(1)/(9)` m

B

`(10)/(11)` m

C

`(1)/(10)` m

D

`(1)/(11)` m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(Gxx1)/(x^2)=(Gxx100)/((1-x)^(2))`
`10x=1-x`
`rArrx=(1)/(11)m`
