There are two bodies of masses 100 kg and 10000 kg separated by a distance 1 m. At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
$\frac{G \times 100}{x^{2}} = \frac{G \times 10000}{(1-x)^{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{10}{x} = \frac{100}{1-x} \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{11} \text{ m}$
