Q63 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (15 Apr Shift 1) · Physics
Two identical particles each of mass go round a circle of radius under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction. The angular speed of each particle will be :
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
The gravitational force between the particles is given by
The centripetal force of each particle can be written as
Under balanced condition, equate equation (1) and equation (2) and simplify to obtain the angular speed of each particle.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
