Gravity is all ways pulling down and the normal force acting on top of the object and for it to have to push or pull to the object
The solution would be like
this for this specific problem:
<span>
The force on m is:</span>
<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] ->
1
The force on 2m is:</span>
<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2]
-> 2
From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from
(2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2
Since the Ms are the same, then
2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2
2x^2 = (L - x)^2
xsqrt2 = L - x
x(1 + sqrt2) = L
x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize.
x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1)
x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1)
x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>
= 0.414L
<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x
axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and
particle 2 doubles.</span>
It depends on what they are
this process is called parellelogram method of resolving vectors.
I'm not sure I completely understand the expression you want evaluated.
It looks like a fraction with the same exact thing in both the numerator and the denominator. A fraction like that always boils down to ' 1 '.
