Three identical very dense masses of 4800 kgeach are placed on
the x axis. One mass is at x1 = -120 cm , one is
at the origin, and one is at x2 = 410 cm .
Part A
What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force
Fgrav on the mass at the origin due to the other two
masses?
Take the gravitational constant to be G =
6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2 .
Express your answer in newtons to three significant figures.
Part B
What is the direction of the net gravitational force on the mass
at the origin due to the other two masses?
