Question

Objects with masses of 105 kg and 528 kg are separated by 0.482 m. A 41.1 kg mass is placed midway between them. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by the two larger masses on the 41.1 kg mass. The value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.672 × 10^(-11) N · m^2/kg^2. Answer in units of N.

Calculate the force of gravitation between two objects of masses 50 kg and 120 kg respectively kept at a distance of 10 m from one another. (Gravitational constant, G = 6.7 × 10 -11 Nm^2/kg^2 )

Two 700-kg masses (1543 lb) are separated by a distance of 45 m. Using Newton's law of gravitation, find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other. (Use G = 6.67 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2.) (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)

001 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points Objects with masses of 107 kg and 751 kg are separated by 0.446 m. A 63 kg mass is placed midway between them. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by the two larger masses on the 63 kg mass. The value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.672 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2. Answer in units of N. 002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Leaving the distance between the 107 kg and the 751 kg masses fixed, at what distance from the 751 kg mass (other than infinitely remote ones) does the 63 kg mass experience a net force of zero? Answer in units of m.

00:01 We'd like to find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by the two larger masses on the 41 .1 kilogram mass.
00:12 Okay, so we're given our two objects and our distance between them.
00:17 Now we could find, let's say that these are our two objects, and we have its placed midway between them.
00:27 So this is midway for our what just called c and a and b.
00:33 Now, we could find the force on object.
00:36 Object c as g, mass of c, mass of b, divided by a halfway of that distance, so 0 .482 divided by 2, so that's 0 .241 squared, minus the gravitational constant mass a, mass c divided by 0 .241 squared...
