Figure 13-46a 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 B and C, which have identical masses, and the y axis is a perpendicular bisector between them. Distance D is 0.3057 m. Figure 13-46b 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 $ 10%11 J as y : 2. What are the masses of (a) particles B and C and (b) particle A?
