- Homework Statement
- Hi guys, I'm stuck on this homework question: Three uniform spheres of masses m1 = 2.50 kg, m2 = 4.00 kg, and m3 = 7.50 kg are placed at the corners of a right triangle (see figure below). Calculate the resultant gravitational force on the object of mass m2, assuming the spheres are isolated from the rest of the Universe. So I got the 'j' part correct, but for the 'i' part it's telling me the magnitude is correct but the direction is not. I'm confused as to what this means.

- F=GMm/r^2
