STANDARD Physics Gravitational Force MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
In the previous question, if the mass placed at vertex A is doubled, then the force acting on the mass 2m placed at the centroid O is
A
Zero
B
2Gm²/l²
C
5Gm²/l²
D
6Gm²/l²
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
Doubling the mass at vertex A increases the gravitational force proportionally. The resultant force on the mass at O due to the masses at A, B, and C is calculated using vector addition of forces, leading to the given result.
