Two bodies A and B having masses M and 3M respectively are kept at a distance 2.73 m apart. A small particle of mass m is to be place so that the net gravitational force on it, due to A and B is zero. What will be its distance from body A ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the position of a small particle of mass \( m \) such that the net gravitational force acting on it due to two bodies \( A \) and \( B \) (with masses \( M \) and \( 3M \), respectively) is zero. The distance between the two bodies is given as \( 2.73 \, \text{m} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: - Mass of body \( A = M \) - Mass of body \( B = 3M \) - Distance between \( A \) and \( B = R = 2.73 \, \text{m} \) ...
