A planet with mass of 7.50 x 1024) and Jupiter (m = 1.901 x 1027) are attracted to each
other. However, they are in a long-distance relationship, being separated by a distance
of 4.09 x 1014 meters. Calculate the force of attraction between these two planets. (Iwant

(a) What is the magnitude of the gravitational field at the center of the square due to these three masses?
1.39e-9
What is the field at the center due to the two equal masses? Did you consider the symmetry of the situation? m/s2
(b) Suppose the two masses m, and m, are not equal. What value of m, will produce a gravitational field at the center of the square directed vertically down?
kg
Two homogeneous
spheres one of mass 100 kg
and other of mass 11.75 kg attract each with the
force of 19.6x10^-7 N when kept with their centres
0.2 m apart. Estimate G.
