Question

a mass M is divided into two pieces of the masses M1 and M2 the ratio of M1 and M2 for the maximum gravitational attraction between them is​

Answer 1

Answer:

I dont know

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

M1:M2 = 1:1

Explanation:

Given,

Mass M is divided into two pieces of the masses M1 and M2,

M = M1 + M2

M1 = M - M2

The gravitational attraction between M1 and M2 is

F = GM1M2/d²

F = G(M-M2)M2/d²

F = GMM2/d² - G(M2)²/d²

For max attraction, dF/dM2 = 0

F = GM/d² - 2GM2/d² = 0

M - 2M2 = 0

M = 2M2

M2 = M/2

M1 = M/2

M1:M2 = (M/2):(M/2)

M1:M2 = 1:1
