Question
1)Robert E. (1917–1989) discovered two planets. he estimated their masses to be m and M and found that the ratio of their masses, M/m = 36. The distance between the planets is L. The point P, is between the planets and the distance between m and P is x. The gravitational forces on an object at P, due to M and m, are equal in magnitude.
A) What is the value of x?
B) If you replace the two planets (now x is the distance between M and P), what would be the new value of the x?
