Question

In the figure below, a square of edge length s is formed by four spheres of masses, m1, m2, m3, and m4. What is the x-component and the y-component of the net gravitational force from them on a central sphere of mass m5. State your answers in terms of the given variables. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: and G for the gravitational constant.)

Fx =
Fy = In the figure below, a square of edge length s is formed by four spheres of masses, m1, m2, m3, and m4. What is the x-component and the y-component of the net gravitational force from them on a central sphere of mass m5. State your answers in terms of the given variables. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: and G for the gravitational constant.)

Explanation / Answer

Fx = (sqrt(2)*G*m5/s^2)*(m2 + m4 - m1 -m3)

Fy = (sqrt(2)*G*m5/s^2)*(m1 + m2 - m3 -m4)
