![### 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](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa50e57d1-2bd6-427e-801e-187552a1e482%2Fe906be81-514c-4710-a8c4-42f406408b81%2Fig20lr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
