Question

Problem 6 A 273 kg object and a 503 kg are separated by 0.675 m. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 59.0 kg object placed midway between them 7.95x10-6N ou are correct. Computer's answer noW Shown above. p Your receipt is 148-9048 At an infinitely remote distance, the net gravitational force on the third mass from the other two will be zero. Is there a point along the straight line between the two masses with the same property? (Enter Y for yes, N for no). Previous Tries You are correct. Computer's answer now shown above Your receipt is 148-6182 At what distance of the 273 kg object would that be? (Answer-1 m if there is no such point.) . Previous Tries Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 1/6 Previous Tries

Explanation / Answer

Let the distance be x m from 273 kg

Net force

F=G*273*m/(x*x)-G*503*m/(0.675-x)*(0.675-x) =0

Solving this we got

x=0.286 m
