Q113 / 200 · NEET 2003 · Physics

Two spheres of masses $m$ and $M$ are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is $F$. The space around the masses is now filled with a liquid of specific gravity 3 . The gravitational force will now be:

A
$3 F$
Correct answer
B
$F$
C
$\frac{F}{3}$
D
$\frac{F}{9}$

Solution

The gravitational force does not depend upon the medium in which objects are placed.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
