Three identical masses of 500 kg each are placed on the x axis. One mass is at x_1 = -11.0 cm, one is at the origin, and one is at x_2 = 37.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force F_grav on the mass at the origin due to the other two masses?
Take the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10−11 N \m^2/kg^2.
Express your answer in newtons.
