हिन्दी

Three identical point masses, each of mass \( m \), are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length \( 1\text{ m} \). A point mass \( 2m \) is placed at the centroid of the triangle. What is the net gravitational force experienced by the mass at the centroid?

  1. A
    Zero
  2. B
    \( 6Gm^2 \)
  3. C
    \( \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} Gm^2 \)
  4. D
    \( 2Gm^2 \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option A

Zero

Explanation

By symmetry, the three equal gravitational forces from identical masses at equal distances are separated by 120 degrees, so their vector sum is zero.
