Two planets A and B are fixed at a distance d from each other as shown in the figure.If the mass of A is `M_A` and that of B is `M_B`, then find out the minimum velocity of a satellite of mass Ms projected from the mid point of two planets to infinity .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
