Answer:

a)   Fₙ = 2,273 10⁻⁷ N   and   b)    x₃ = 1,297 m

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the law of universal gravitation and Newton's second law for the equilibrium case. The Universal Gravitation Equation is

    F = G m₁ m₂ / r₁₂²

a) we write Newton's second law

       Σ F = F₁₃ - F₃₂

Body 1 has mass of m₁ = 110 kg and we will place our reference system, body 2 has a mass of m₂ = 410 kg and is in the position x₂ = 3.80 m

Body 3 has a mass of m₃ = 41.0 kg and is in the middle of the other two bodies

      x₃ = (x₂-x₁) / 2

     x₃ = 3.80 / 2 = 1.9 m

     Fₙ = -G m₁ m₃ / x₃² + G m₃ m₂ / x₃²

     Fₙ = G m₃ / x₃² (-m₁ + m₂)

Calculate

     Fₙ = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 41.0 / 1.9² (- 110 + 410)

     Fₙ = 2,273 10⁻⁷ N

Directed to the right

b) find the point where the force is zero

The distance is

     x₁₃ = x₃ - 0

    x₃₂ = x₂ -x₃= 3.8 -x₃

We write the park equation net force be zero

     0 = - F₁₃ + F₃₂

     F₁₃ = F₃₂

     G m₁ m₃ / x₁₃² = G m₃ m₂ / x₃₂²

     m₁ / x₁₃² = m₂ / x₃₂²

Let's look for the relationship between distances, substituting

     m₁ / x₃² = m₂ / (3.8 - x₃)²

     (3.8 - x₃) = x₃ √ (m₂ / m₁)

     x₃ + x₃ √ (m₂ / m₁) = 3.8

     x₃ (1 + √ m₂ / m₁) = 3.8

     x₃ = 3.8 / (1 + √ (m₂ / m₁))

     x₃ = 3.8 / (1 + √ (410/110))

     x₃ = 1,297 m

When body 3 is in this position the net force on it is zero

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more
