    Two particles of equal mass go around a circle of radius R under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction. The speed v of each particle is:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2R}\sqrt{\frac{1}{Gm}}\]        

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{2R}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}\]          

    D)         \[\sqrt{\frac{4\,Gm}{R}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that the centrifugal force \[=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{R}\]and gravitational force\[=G\times \frac{m\times m}{4{{R}^{2}}}.\] Equating these two force\[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{R}\] \[=G\times \frac{m\times m}{4{{R}^{2}}}\]or\[v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{4R}}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}\]
