If three balls (all weighing 2.0kg) are lined in a row, what is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on mass A due to masses B and C in the figure. B is 10cm from A, and C is 50 cm from A (and of course C is 40 cm from B)
(here's a 'diagram')
(A)----(B)----------------------------C
I've been using the equation G*(m1m2/Rsq) and been adding the gravitational pull from a & b and a & c but for some reason that's wrong. So where do I need to fine tune my equation?
