Question

39. There are two bodies of masses 100,000 kg and
: 36 X6 6444
1000 kg seperated by a distance of 1 m. At
what distance from the smaller body, the
intensity will be zero
b) m/10 c) m/11
d) 10m/11
a) m/9​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the distance from 100㎏ for which resultant gravitational intensity is zero, gravitational force due to 100㎏ is equal  and opposite to 10,000㎏. So,

x

G×100

=  

(1−x)

10x=1−x

x=
