Mass M is distributed uniformly along a line of length 2L.
Chapter 13, Problem 90CP(choose chapter or problem)
Mass M is distributed uniformly along a line of length 2L. A particle with mass m is at a point that is a distance a above the center of the line on its perpendicular bisector (point P in below Fig.). For the gravitational force that the line exerts on the particle, calculate the components perpendicular and parallel to the line. Does your result reduce to the correct expression as a becomes very large? Figure:
