To solve the problem, we need to calculate the gravitational field intensity at a point due to two masses, \(90 \, \text{kg}\) and \(160 \, \text{kg}\), which are \(5 \, \text{m}\) apart. The point is \(3 \, \text{m}\) from the \(90 \, \text{kg}\) mass and \(4 \, \text{m}\) from the \(160 \, \text{kg}\) mass.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Gravitational Field Formula**:
The gravitational field intensity \(E\) due to a mass \(m\) at a distance \(r\) is given by the formula:
\[
E = \frac{G \cdot m}{r^2}
