Homework Statement
a) What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on the m2=10kg mass? Assume m1=20kg and m3=15kg.
b) What is the direction of the net gravitational force on the m2=10kg mass? Assume m1=20kg and m3=15kg.
Homework Equations
F = G*m2*m3/R^2
The Attempt at a Solution
M2 x vector force
sin(26.565)*G*m2*m3/(0.223)^2
M2 y vector force
cos(26.565)*G*m2*m3/(0.223)^2
Total force
x vector
sin(26.565)*G*m2*m3/(0.223)^2 = 9.03796*10^-8
y vector
G*m2*m1/0.2^2 + cos(26.565)*G*m2*m3/(0.223)^2
= 5.0058*10^-7
magnitude
sqrt((9.03796*10^-8)^2+(5.0058*10^-7)^2) =
5.0867
angle
