A larger spherical mass M is fixed at on...

A larger spherical mass M is fixed at one position and two identical point masses m are kept on a line passing through the centre of M. The point masses are connected by rigid massless rod of length l and this assembly is free to move along the line connecting them. All three masses interact only throght their mutual gravitational interaction. When the point mass nearer to M is at a distance r =3l form M, the tensin in the rod is zero for `m =k((M)/(288)).` The value of k is
