Chapter 13: Problem 45
A uniform sphere with mass 50.0 kg is held with its center at the origin, and a second uniform sphere with mass 80.0 kg is held with its center at the point \(x =\) 0, \(y =\) 3.00 m. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the net gravitational force due to these objects on a third uniform sphere with mass 0.500 kg placed at the point \(x =\) 4.00 m, \(y =\) 0? (b) Where, other than infinitely far away, could the third sphere be placed such that the net gravitational force acting on it from the other two spheres is equal to zero?
