A 175-kg object and a 475-kg object are separated by 3.70 m.
(a) Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 35.0-kg object placed midway between them.
(b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 35.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?
(b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 35.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?

The slab has length L = 41.2 m, thickness T = 7.51 m, and width W = 14.1 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.315. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 7.06 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.06 × 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed?

They are not touching and they are exerting gravitational forces one each other. Because these two masses are placed one above the other, rather than side by side, the magnitude of the gravitational forces these masses exert on each other should not be expected to be equal.arrow_forward
