Two identical spheres are placed in contact with each other. The force of gravitation between the spheres will be proportional to (R = radius of each sphere)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
$\mathbf{F} = G \frac{\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{M}}{R^{2}} = \frac{G \times \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} \rho \right)^{2}}{(2R)^{2}} \Rightarrow \mathbf{F} \propto \frac{R^{6}}{R^{2}} \propto R^{4}$
