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.
