The figure below shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. A B C *----*----* d? d? The masses of these particles are $m_A = 361$ kg, $m_B = 501$ kg, and $m_C = 145$ kg. $d_1 = 0.570$ m and $d_2 = 0.285$ m. Calculate the magnitude of the net gravitational force acting on particle A.

Step 1
The gravitational force between two particles can be calculated using the formula: F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2 where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant (6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2), m1 and m2 are the masses of the particles, and r is the Show more…

Particles of masses m1 and m2 are at a fixed distance apart. If the gravitational field strength at m1 and m2 are vector I1 and vector I2 respectively, then A. m1 vector I1 + m2 vector I2 = 0 B. m1 vector I2 + m2 vector I1 = 0 C. m1 vector I1 - m2 vector I2 = 0 D. m1 vector I2 - m2 vector I1 = 0
