Homework Statement
Find the distance an object needs to be in between the sun and the Earth for it to be perfectly balanced (not moving)
Homework Equations
mass of Earth = 5.98e24 kg
mass of sun=1.991e30 kg
distance between sun and Earth = 1.479e11 m
Fg=Gm1m2/r²
The Attempt at a Solution
well, i tried making the Fg zero for two equations - one with Fg of the object to the sun, and one with Fg of the object to the earth..but it got messed up..can someone help me?
can i sub in the mass of the object as 1kg?
