Question

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

F/3

F/9

3F

F

Solution

Answer : F
Well the force of gravitation will be same as F because gravitational force is dependent on the masses of the body and distance between them and does not depend on the medium between the masses.
