draw the diagram. Compute forceAB, and force BC. Trmember force AC.
Force A=AC+AB
Force C= CA+CB
forece on B= AB+BC (watch directions).
The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. Particle B is located in the middle of particles A and C. The distance between particles A and B is 0.500 m. The distance between particles B and C is 0.250 m. The masses of these particles are mA = 342 kg, mB = 542 kg, and mC = 126 kg. Take the positive direction to be to the right. Find the net gravitational force, including sign, acting on (a) particle A, (b) particle B, and (c) particle C.
