Problem

Two point masses of

6\,\text{kg}

and

24\,\text{kg}

are separated by

0.10\,\text{m}

in vacuum. Find the distance from the

6\,\text{kg}

mass (along the line joining the two masses) at which the net gravitational field becomes zero. Take

G = 6.67\times10^{-11}\,\text{N\,m}^2\text{kg}^{-2}
