  • A
    $\frac{24}{n^2}$
  • B
    $24 n^2$
  • C
    $24(1 - \frac{1}{n^2})$

$A$ mass $m$,travelling at speed $V_0$ in a straight line from far away,is deflected when it passes near a black hole of mass $M$ which is at a perpendicular distance $R$ from the original line of flight. $a$,the distance of closest approach between the mass and the black hole,is given by the relation:

$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is at a distance of $a$ from a star of mass $M$. The speed of the satellite is $u$. Suppose the law of universal gravity is $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^{2.1}}$ instead of $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$. Find the speed of the satellite when it is at a distance $b$ from the star.
