To find the point on the line joining two masses (8 kg and 20 kg) where the gravitational field intensity is zero, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept The gravitational field intensity (E) at a point due to a mass is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{G \cdot m}{r^2} \] where: - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, - \( m \) is the mass, ...
