Two uniform spheres, each of mass 0.260 kg are fixed at points ‘A’ and ‘B’ as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the initial acceleration of a sphere with mass 0.010 kg if it is released from rest at point ‘P’ and acted only by forces of gravitational attraction of sphere at ‘A’ and ‘B’(give your answer in terms of G).
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
31.2 G m/sec 2 = 2.1 × 10 –9 m/s 2 , towards mid-point
Sol. tan θ = 
= 
θ = 53°
F = 
= 
a = 
= 2G 
= 31.2 G m/s 2
