Two bodies of equal masses attract each ...

Two bodies of equal masses attract each other with a force `6.67 xx 10^(-11)N`, when placed at a distance 1m apart. The mass of each body is

A

0.1 kg

B

1.0 kg

C

2.0 kg

D

4.0 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have, r= 1m
`F= 6.67 xx 10^(-11)N`
Let `m_(1)= m_(2)= m` ,
From gravitational force,
`F= G(m_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))`
`6.67 xx 10^(-11)=6.67 xx 10^(-11) xx (m^(2))/(1)`
`m^(2)= 1`
`m_(1)= m_(2)=1 `
