A thin uniform rod of mass M and length 2R is placed at a distance of 4R from a uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R The line joining centres of sphere and the rod is perpendicular to the length of the rod as shown in figure M 2R M R DMR K 4R These two masses can experience their mutual gravitational force only Under these conditions If acceleration of sphere towards the rod is calculated to be then the value of B 2A is A B are in simplest form GM AJB R2
