Chapter 13, Problem 4Q
In Fig. 13-24, 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 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? (b) Does the answer change if the third particle has, instead, a mass of 16m? (c) Is there a point off the axis (other than infinity) at on the third particle would be zero?

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? (b) Does the answer change if the third particle has, instead, a mass of 16m? (c) Is there a point off the axis (other than infinity) at which the net force on the third particle would be zero?
A particle of mass 3m is located 1.00 m from a particle of mass m. (a) Where should you put a third mass M so that the net gravitational force on M due to the two masses is exactly zero? (b) Is the equilibrium of M at this point stable or unstable (i) for points along the line connecting m and 3m, and (ii) for points along the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line connecting m and 3m?
Problem 3: A particle with mass m,=2 kg is located at x=0
while a particle with mass m,=128 kg is located at x=200 m
along the x axis. Somewhere between them is a point where
the gravitational force of m, acting on a mass m,_1 kg is
canceled by the gravitational force of m, acting on that
mass.
(a) What is the coordinate x of this point?
(b) Find the ratio (in terms of integer numbers) of the
magnitude of the net gravitational force on a mass m, 1
located at (x=100, y=0) relative to the magnitude of the net
gravitational force on the same mass m, when located at
