Question
### Explanation of Gravitational Forces Between Planets

The scenario depicts three planets interacting through gravitational forces:

- **Planet #1** with mass \( M_1 \)
- **Planet #2** with mass \( M_2 \)
- **Planet #3** with mass \( M_3 \)

Planet #2 and Planet #3 are separated by a distance \( R \). Planet #1 is at position \( r \) between them.

#### Diagram Overview
- Planet #3 is on the left, shown in red, followed by planet #1 in green, and planet #2 in blue on the right.
- The arrow indicates the direction from planet #3 through planet #1 to planet #2.

### Questions and Explanations

1. **What is the force \( F_{12} \) on planet #1 due to the gravitational force of planet #2 at the position \( r \)?**

   Multiple choice options:
   - \( F_{12} = \frac{GM_1M_2}{r^3} \)
   - \( F_{12} = \frac{GM_1}{r^2} \)
   - \( F_{12} = \frac{GM_1M_2}{r} \)
   - \( F_{12} = \frac{GM_1M_2}{r^2} \) [Correct choice]
   - \( F_{12} = GM_1M_2r^2 \)

2. **What is the direction of the force \( F_{12} \)?**
   
   Choices:
   - Toward planet 1
   - Perpendicular to the line joining planet 1 and planet 2
   - Toward planet 3
   - Toward planet 2 [Correct choice]

3. **What is the force \( F_{13} \) on planet #1 due to the gravitational force of planet #3 at the position \( r \)?**

   Multiple choice options:
   - \( F_{13} = \frac{GM_1M_3}{R^2} \)
   - \( F_{13} = \frac{GM_1M_3(R-r)^2}{R} \)
   - \( F_{13} = \frac{GM_1M_3}{(R-r)} \)
   - \( F_{13} = \frac{GM_1
