Problem

Two identical point masses of 4 kg4\,\text{kg} are separated by 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m}. A point PP lies on the line joining them, 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m} from one of the masses and between the two masses. What is the magnitude of the net gravitational field at PP? a) 5.3×10−8 N kg−15.3\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1} b) 2.0×10−9 N kg−12.0\times10^{-9}\,\text{N kg}^{-1} c) 2.5×10−8 N kg−12.5\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1} d) 2.8×10−8 N kg−12.8\times10^{-8}\,\text{N kg}^{-1}
