Problem

Two identical point masses of

4\,\text{kg}

are separated by

0.50\,\text{m}

. A point

P

lies on the line joining them,

0.10\,\text{m}

from one of the masses and between the two masses. What is the magnitude of the net gravitational field at

P

? (a)

5.3\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1}

(b)

2.0\times10^{-9}\,\text{N kg}^{-1}

(c)

2.5\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1}

(d)

2.8\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1}
