Four uniform spheres, with masses mA= 40 kg,mB = 35 kg, mC = 200 kg, and mD= 50 kg, have (x, y) coordinates of (0, 50 cm),(0, 0), (-80 cm, 0), and (40 cm, 0), respectively. In unit-vector notation,what is the net gravitational force on sphere B due to theother spheres?
Two hollow spherical shells are both centered on point C and have masses in the ratio M1/M2=1/4. Point A is outside both shells and point B is between the shells. If the distances from points A and B to the center are in the ratio rA/rB=5, what is the ratio of the gravitational forces FA/FB on a particle placed at A and B?
A mass M is split into two parts, m and M - m, which are then separated by a certain distance. What ratio m/M maximizes the magnitude of the gravitational force between the parts?
