There are two bodies of masses 100 kg and 10000 kg separated by a distance 1 m . At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero

A

`1/9m`

B

`1/10m`

C

`1/11m`

D

`10/11m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(GM_1)/(x^2)=(GM_2)/((1-x)^2)`
`rArr100/x=10000/((1-x)^2)rArr(1-x)/x=10`
`rArr1-x=10xrArrx=1/11m`
