two particles, of masses m and 2m, are fixed in place on an axis. (a) Where on the axis can a third particle of mass 3m be placed (other than at infinity) so that the net gravitational force on it from the first two particles is zero: to the left of the first two particles, to their right, between them but closer to the more massive particle, or between them but closer to the less massive particle?
