Question

two particles of mass m and 3m are at a distance d. A particle of mass 2m is placed between these two particles at x distance from the particle of mass m. if net force on the particle of mass 2m is zero, then find the value of x/d​

PLS HELP...!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

let force acting between particle of mass m and 3m be F1

so, F1= G 3m^2/d^2-------(1)

let F2 be force between particle of mass 2m and m

so, F2=G 2m^2/x^2---------(2)

divide (1) by (2)

F1/F2=3 x^2/ 2 d^2

SO, x/d= √2 F1 / 3 F2
