Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

The gravitations force is independent of the intervening medium. In other words, the force

between two mass remains the same whether they are in air, vacuum, water or separated by a brick wall.

Hence, is an incorrect statement.

The gravitational force is a conservative force.

Hence, is an incorrect statement.

The gravitational force obeys newton’s third law of motion. Thus, it form action – reactions pair.

Hence, is a correct statement.

The gravitational force is a central force. Hence, is an incorrect statement
