Three equal masses of mass \( m \) are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle \( ABC \) with distances from centroid \( G \) being \( AG = BG = CG = 1\text{ m} \). If the mass at vertex \( A \) is doubled to \( 2m \), what is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on a mass of \( 2m \) kept at centroid \( G \)?

  1. A
    \( 4Gm^2 \)
  2. B
    \( 8Gm^2 \)
  3. C
    \( Gm^2 \)
  4. D
    \( 2Gm^2 \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option D

\( 2Gm^2 \)

Explanation

The original three masses produce zero net force. Adding an extra mass m at A produces an unbalanced force F = G(m)(2m)/(1)^2 = 2Gm^2 towards vertex A.
