Two dimensions. In Fig. 13-35, three point particles are fixed in place in an $x y$ plane. Particle $A$ has mass $m_{A}$, particle $B$ has mass $2.00 m_{A}$, and particle $C$ has mass $3.00 m_{A} . A$ fourth particle $D$, with mass $12.0 m_{A}$, is to be placed near the other three particles. In order for the net force on particle $A$ due to the other three particles to be zero, where should particle $D$ be located? Give (a) the distance from $A$ in terms of $d$ and (b) the angle relative to the positive direction of the $x$ axis?
Three dimensions. Three point particles are fixed in place in an $x y z$ coordinate system. Particle $A,$ at the origin, has mass $m_{A}$ Particle $B,$ at $x y z$ coordinates $(2.00 d, 1.00 d, 2.00 d),$ has mass 2.00$m_{A}$and particle $C,$ at coordinates $(-1.00 d, 2.00 d,-3.00 d),$ has mass 3.00$m_{A} .$ A fourth particle $D,$ with mass 4.00$m_{A}$ , is to be placed near the other particles In terms of distance $d$ , at what $(a) x,(b) y,$ and $(c) z$ coordinate should $D$ be placed so that the net gravitational force on $A$ from $B, C$ and $D$ is zero?
