Question

### Text Transcription

Three identical very dense masses of 5500 kg each are placed on the x-axis. One mass is at \( x_1 = -110 \, \text{cm} \), one is at the origin, and one is at \( x_2 = 430 \, \text{cm} \).

### Explanation

This text describes a scenario involving three identical masses, each weighing 5500 kg. These masses are positioned along the x-axis at specific points:

1. The first mass is located at \( x_1 = -110 \, \text{cm} \), which is 110 centimeters to the left of the origin.
2. The second mass is situated at the origin (\( x = 0 \)).
3. The third mass is placed at \( x_2 = 430 \, \text{cm} \), 430 centimeters to the right of the origin.

This setup is likely part of a physics problem involving concepts such as gravitational force, center of mass, or torque. There are no graphs or diagrams associated with this text.

**Part A**

What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force \( F_{\text{grav}} \) on the mass at the origin due to the other two masses?

Take the gravitational constant to be \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \).

**Express your answer in newtons to three significant figures.**

Our solar system is roughly 2.2 x 1020 m away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and the system is moving at roughly 231.4 km/s around the galaxy's center. Since most of the galaxy's mass is near its center (and we are on an outer arm of this spiral galaxy), let's model the galaxy has a spherical mass distribution (like a single, giant star that our system is orbiting around). What is the mass of the galaxy (according to our rough, spherical model)? Obviously, this will be a VERY big answer, and so enter in your answer to the order of 1040 kg. In other words, calculate the answer, and then divide by 1040 and then enter in the result. BTW - by assuming that all mass in the galaxy is made up of stars that are about the same mass as our sun, it isn't too hard to then estimate how many stars are in the galaxy!). As an another aside, some measurements and observations that we have taken in Astronomy suggests that in reality, stars only make up a fraction of the total mass
