Chapter 6, Problem 6.17(choose chapter or problem)
(II) Two identical point masses, each of mass M, alwaysremain separated by a distance of 2R. A third mass m is thenplaced a distance x along the perpendicular bisector of theoriginal two masses, as shown in Fig. 6-26. Show that thegravitational force on the thirdmass is directed inward alongthe perpendicular bisector andhas a magnitude of IGMmxj Q F =(x2 + R2) 2 FIGURE 6-26 17.
