Homework Statement
There are three particles;
1) 26kg at 12i-hat
2)13kg at -5j-hat
3)13 kg at 5j-hat
A) What is the gravitational force on the 26kg mass due to the 13kg mass at -5j-hat
Homework Equations
F= GMm/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
A) IN COMPONENTS;
Y Component
F=6.67E-11(13)(26)/5^2
9.01E-10 j-hat
X Component
F=6.67E-11(13)(26)/12^2
=1.57E-10 i-hat
I have solved this problem before in the exact same way and gotten the correct answers. I don't know why there answers are incorrect. Could someone point it out please? Thanks.
