Question

A 250-kg object and a 550-kg object are separated by 3.70 m.

(a) Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 36.0-kg object placed midway between them. Incorrect:

(b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 36.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects? m from the 550 kg mass toward the 250 kg mass

Answer 1

Calculation for the net force is as shown below.
