Three 3 kg masses are located at points in the xy plane. 36 cm 52 cm What is the magnitude of the resultant force (caused by the other two masses) on the mass at the origin? The universal gravita- tional constant is 6.6726 × 10−11 N · m2/kg2. Answer in units of N.

Respuesta :

5.136 [tex]\times 10^{-9}[/tex] is the magnitude of the resultant force (caused by the other two masses) on the mass at the origin

Explanation:

Use Newton's law of gravitation [tex]F = \frac{G \times m1 \times m2}{r^{2} }[/tex]

G - gravitational force

m -mass of the object

[tex]F_{1}[/tex] (vertical force):

[tex]F_{1} = \frac{6.6726 \times 10^{-11} \times 3 \times 3 }{0.52^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]F1 = 2.220 \times 10^{-9}N[/tex]

[tex]F_{2}[/tex] (horizontal force):

[tex]F_{2} = \frac{6.6726 \times 10^{-11 \times 3 \times 3} }{0.36^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]F_{2} = 4.633 \times 10^{-9}N[/tex]

hence F on the mass of origin [tex]= \sqrt{(2.220 \times 10^{-9} )^{2} } + (4.633 \times 10^{-9} )^{2}[/tex]

[tex]F = 5.136 \times 10^{-9} N[/tex]

The magnitude of the resultant force (caused by the other two masses) on the mass at the origin should be [tex]5.136*10^9.[/tex]

Newton law of gravitation:

Since we know that

[tex]F = G*m1*m2/r^2[/tex]

Here

G - gravitational force

m -mass of the object

F1 = vertical force

[tex]F1 = (6.6726*10^-11*3*3)/0.52^2\\\\= 2.220*10^-9 N[/tex]

And, f2 = horizontal force

[tex]f2 = 6.6726*10^-11*3*3/0.36^2\\\\= 4.633*10^-9 N[/tex]

So here the force is

[tex]= \sqrt (2.220*10^-9)^2 + (4.633*10^-9)^2\\\\= 5.136*10^-9 N[/tex]

Hence, The magnitude of the resultant force (caused by the other two masses) on the mass at the origin should be [tex]5.136*10^9.[/tex]
