Question:

A double star system consists of two stars A and B which have time periods $T_ A $ and $T_B $ . Radius $ R_A $ and $ R_B $ and mass $ M_A $ and $M_B $ . Choose the correct option

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • if $T_A > T_B$ then $R_A >R_B $
  • if $T_A > T_B$ then $M_A >M_B $
  • $\bigg( \frac{T_A}{T_B} \bigg)^2 = \bigg( \frac{R_A}{R_B} \bigg)^3 $
  • $T_A =T_B $

Gravitation

In mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter is known as Gravity, also called gravitation, . It is the weakest known force in nature.

Newton’s Law of Gravitation

According to Newton’s law of gravitation, “Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose magnitude is,

  • F ∝ (M1M2) . . . . (1)
  • (F ∝ 1/r2) . . . . (2)

On combining equations (1) and (2) we get,

F ∝ M1M2/r2

F = G × [M1M2]/r2 . . . . (7)

Or, f(r) = GM1M2/r2

The dimension formula of G is [M-1L3T-2].
