Two particles of equal mass $m$ go round a circle of radius $R$ under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction. The speed of each particle is

  • A
    $v = \frac{1}{{2R}}\,\sqrt {\frac{1}{{Gm}}} $
  • B
    $v = \sqrt {\frac{{Gm}}{{2R}}} $
  • C
    $v = \frac{1}{2}\,\sqrt {\frac{{Gm}}{R}} $
  • D
    $v = \sqrt {\frac{{4Gm}}{{R}}} $

Three identical spheres of mass $m$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length $a$. When released,they interact only through gravitational force and collide after a time $T = 4 \text{ s}$. If the sides of the triangle are increased to length $2a$ and the masses of the spheres are made $2m$,then they will collide after . . . . . . seconds.
