b) Newton's law of universal gravitation states that two point masses attract each other along the line connecting them, with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The magnitude of the force acting on each mass is therefore F=G m1m₂ 12 where m₁ and m2 are the two masses, r is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. Let the masses m₁ and m2 be located at the position vectors r₁ and r2. Write down the vector form for the force acting on m₁ due to its gravitational attraction to m₂.
