2-D star cluster puzzle
Find the net gravitational force on each star for each star cluster
Let m=mass of the star = 1.99 x 10^30 kg, l=earth to star distance=149.6 x 10^6 km, G=6.67 x10^-11 N m^2/kg^2. Note that the masses of each star are the same. Also, it is advised to use vectors and components. And you can just find the gravitational net force of one of the stars in the shape
