What happens to the gravitational force acting on a mass if the mass at vertex A of an equilateral triangle is doubled?
A
The gravitational force increases due to the increased mass.
B
The gravitational force remains unchanged.
C
The gravitational force decreases due to the increased distance.
D
The gravitational force becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, if the mass at vertex A is doubled, the resultant gravitational force acting on the mass at the centroid will increase as it is directly proportional to the masses involved.
