To solve the problem of finding the resultant gravitational force on a 1 kg mass at the origin due to two other masses (4 kg and 3 kg) placed along the X and Y axes respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the 1 kg mass We have two masses: - Mass \( m_1 = 4 \, \text{kg} \) located at \( (1, 0) \) (along the X-axis) - Mass \( m_2 = 3 \, \text{kg} \) located at \( (0, 1) \) (along the Y-axis) - Mass \( m_3 = 1 \, \text{kg} \) located at the origin \( (0, 0) \) ...
