Find the gravitational force exerted by multiple objects
Not what you're looking for?
Objects with masses of 170 kg and a 470 kg are separated by 0.320 m.
(a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 70.0 kg object placed midway between them.
(b) At what position (other than infinitely remote ones) can the 70.0 kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero?
_______ m from the 470 kg mass

Solution Summary
The solution includes detailed steps on how to calculate the gravitational force.
Solution Preview
In order for the net force to be zero, the two forces exerted by the two objects need be in the opposite direction. So the 70.0 kg object has be to placed in between 170 kg and 470 kg objects.
Assume the 70 kg object is x ...
