Question
Two bodies of masses m and M are placed at distance d apart. The gravitational potential (V) at the position where the gravitational field due to them is zero V is : -
Options
A.V = 
(m + M)
(m + M)B.V = -
C.V = - 
D.V = - (√m + √M)
(√m + √M)Solution
= 
V1 =
V1 =
(√M + √m) ; V2 = 
(√M + √m)
V1 =
√m (√M + √M) ; V2 = √M(√M + √m)
V =(√M + √m)2
V1 =
V1 =
(√M + √m) ; V2 = (√M + √m)V1 =
√m (√M + √M) ; V2 = √M(√M + √m)V =
(√M + √m)2Create a free account to view solution
