Two solid spheres each of radius $R$ made of the same material are placed in contact with each other. If the gravitational force acting between them is $F$,then:

  • A
    $F \propto R^4$
  • B
    $F \propto R^3$
  • C
    $F \propto R^2$
  • D
    $F \propto R$

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ $(m_1 < m_2)$ are released from rest from a finite distance. They start moving under their mutual gravitational attraction.

Three particles each of mass $m_{1}$ are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side $\frac{L}{3}$. $A$ particle of mass $m_{2}$ is placed at the midpoint of any one side of the triangle. Due to the system of particles,the net gravitational force acting on $m_{2}$ is ($G$ = Universal constant of gravitation).
