Question

iii) At a given instant three point masses m,
2m and 3m are equidistant from each other.
Consider only the gravitational forces
between them. Select correct statement/s
for this instance only:
(A) Mass m experiences maximum force.
(B) Mass 2m experiences maximum force.
(C) Mass 3m experiences maximum force.
(D) All masses experience force of same
magnitude.
​

Answer 1

All the masses are of same magnitude and are at same distance from each other therefore all of them will experience the force of same magnitude.

Explanation:

• As per the statement of the question:
• There are three masses = m , 2 m and 3 m
• As all the masses are of same weight therefore we can say that,
• W = mg
• The weight of an object is defined as the amount of gravitational force acting on it.
• As all the masses are of same magnitude and are at same distance from each other therefore all of them will experience the force of same magnitude.
