In the figure, three 5.00kgspheres are located at distancesd1=0.300 mandd2=0.400 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of thexaxis) of the net gravitational force on sphereBdue to spheresAandC?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of the net gravitational force on sphere B is 2.1310-8N

b) The net gravitational force on sphere B is 60.0atwith positive x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Three spheres of equal mass=5kg

Distance between sphere A and B,rAB=0.3m

Distance between sphere B and C,rBC=0.4m

Gravitational constant,G=6.6710-11N-m2/kg2

02

Understanding the concept of Newton’s law of gravitation

This problem is based on Newton鈥檚 law of gravitation. Net force due to two forces can be calculated by using vector addition.

Formula:

Gravitational force of attraction, F=GMmr2 (i)

03

a) Calculating the magnitude of the force on the sphere B

Using equation (i), Force between spheres A & B can be given by:

FAB=GmAmBrAB2=6.6710-11550.32=1.85310-8N

Force between B & C:

FBC=GmBmBrBC2=6.6710-11550.42=1.04210-8N

Net force on B due to A & C:

F=FAB2+FBC2=1.85310-82+1.04210-82=2.12610-10N2.1310-8N

The net force is2.1310-8N

04

b) Calculating the direction of the net force on sphere B

Direction of force on B:

=tan-1FBAFBC=tan-11.85310-81.04210-8=60.6

The net gravitational force makes an angle of 60.6with positive x axis.
