Statement I: The force of gravitation between a sphere and a rod of mass `M_(2)` is `=(GM_(1)M_(2))//r`.
Statement II: Newton's law of gravitation holds correct for point masses.

A

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is Not a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We can take the sphere as a point mass lying at tis centre, but the rod will not be taken as point mass lying at its centre of mass.
