STANDARD Physics Gravitational Force MCQ Question
Two spheres of masses m and M are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is F. The space around the masses is now filled with a liquid of specific gravity 3. The gravitational force will now be
3F
F
F/3
F/9
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational force between two masses is independent of the medium between them. Therefore, filling the space with a liquid of specific gravity 3 does not change the gravitational force, which remains F.
