Question

Two bodies of masses 8 kg and 32 kg are placed at a distance 12 m. A
third body
of mass 5 kg is to be placed at such a point that the force acting on this body
is zero.
Find the position of that point.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the gravitational field is zero at a distance x from 2 kg mass and distance (9−x) from 8 kg mass.

Thus,

x

2

Gm

1

=

(9−x)

2

Gm

2

or

x

2

G(2)

=

(9−x)

2

G(8)

or 4x

2

=(9−x)

2

or 2x=9−x or x=3m

Thus, field is zero at 3 m from 2kg and 6 m from 8 kg.
