Solution
The correct option is A
⎷GMR(2√2+14) Gravitational force between two masses=Gm1m2d2 So,F12=F14=GM22R2 The resultant of these two forces is√2GM22R2 Now,F13=GM24R2
combined resultant of all the forces is Fnet=√2GM22R2+GM24R2=GM2R2[√22+14]
Equating this with centripetal force,we get Mv2R=GM2R2[2√2+14] v2=GMR[2√2+14] v=
⎷GMR[2√2+14]
