Figure 13-45a shows a particle A that can be moved along a y axis from an infinite distance to the origin. That origin lies at the midpoint between particles Band C, which have identical )' (em) )' I ~ I-- D~-D~ r ~x (a) (b) Fig. 13-45 42. masses, and the y axis is a perpendicular bisector between them. Distance D is 0.3057 m. Figure l3A5b shows the potential energy U of the three-particle system as a function of the position of particle A along the y axis. The curve actually extends rightward and approaches an asymptote of -2.7 X 10-11 J as y -.> 00. What are the masses of (a) particles Band C and (b) particle A?
