AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the distance \( r \) from body A where the small particle of mass \( m \) can be placed such that the net gravitational force acting on it due to bodies A and B is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Masses and Distance**: - Mass of body A = \( M \) - Mass of body B = \( 3M \) - Distance between A and B = \( 2.73 \, \text{m} \) ...
