Chapter 6, Problem 6.8(choose chapter or problem)
(II) Every few hundred years most of the planets line up onthe same side of the Sun. Calculate the total force on the Earthdue to Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, assuming all four planetsare in a line, Fig. 6-24. The masses are Mv = 0.815 ME,Mj = 318 Me , MSat = 95.1 ME, and the mean distancesof the four planets from the Sun are 108, 150, 778, and1430 million km. What fraction of the Suns force on theEarth is this? FIGURE 6-24 (not to scale).
