Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
Two large spherical objects of mass M each (uniformly distributed) are fixed as shown in figure. A small point mass m is projected from point A heading towards center C2 of second sphere. The minimum velocity of point mass so that it can reach upto second object at point B is n3GM5R. Then calculate n. [Neglect other gravitational forces]

The correct answer is: 08.00

If the ball can reach the mid point of line connecting spheres, then it will get attracted towards B. (At midpoint gravitational intensity is zero)
Using energy conservation,
12mV02-GMmR-GMm9R=-2GMm5R+0
Solving, V0=83GM5R
n=8
