Three equal masses of mass \( m \) each are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle \( ABC \) of side length such that the distance from each vertex to the centroid \( G \) is \( 1\text{ m} \). If the mass at vertex \( A \) is doubled to \( 2m \), what is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on a mass \( 2m \) placed at centroid \( G \)?

  1. A
    \( 4Gm^2 \)
  2. B
    \( Gm^2 \)
  3. C
    \( 2Gm^2 \)
  4. D
    \( 0 \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option C

\( 2Gm^2 \)

Explanation

The initial three masses give zero net force at \( G \). Doubling mass at \( A \) adds an extra force towards \( A \): \( F_{\text{net}} = \frac{G(m)(2m)}{1^2} = 2Gm^2 \).
