Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
If the gravitational force between two point masses is 36 N and the distance between them is halved, what will be the new gravitational force between them?
A
144 N
B
72 N
C
18 N
D
9 N
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses. Halving the distance increases the force by a factor of 4, resulting in a force of 144 N.
