    Gravitational Force on an object

    Homework Statement If there are three objects (in a right triangle formation) with different masses (say x,y,z) (with y being the mass at the 90 degree angle) and different distances between x and y (distance A) and between y and z (distance B), how do you find the gravitational force between...
