To solve the problem of how the masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) should be related to maximize the gravitational force between them, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the masses Let the total mass \( M \) be divided into two parts: - \( m_1 \) - \( m_2 \) Since the total mass is \( M \), we can express \( m_2 \) in terms of \( m_1 \): ...
