Question
A coordinate system (in meters) is constructed on the surface of a pool table, and three objects are placed on the table as follows: a 9.0 kg object at the origin of the coordinate system, a 12.0 kg object at (0, 2.0), and a 21.0 kg object at (4.0, 0). Find the resultant gravitational force exerted by the other two objects on the object at the origin.
magnitude _________ N
Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully.
direction Correct: Your answer is correct. 66.39
Explanation / Answer
If we assume that we can ignore Earth's gravitational influence, then using F = GMm/r
