### Problem StatementThree objects of equal mass are located at the corners of a square of edge length \(l\) as shown. Find the **magnitude and direction** of the gravitational field at the fourth corner due to these objects. (leaving unstated).### Diagram DescriptionThe diagram provided illustrates a square with three masses, each denoted by \(m\), positioned at three of its corners. The corners are labeled as follows:- The bottom left corner is labeled \(O\).- The top left corner houses one mass \(m\) and is aligned vertically above \(O\) at a distance of \(l\).- The top right corner also contains one mass \(m\), positioned horizontally to the right of the top left corner at a distance \(l\).- The bottom right corner (labeled \(x\) on the horizontal axis) contains a mass \(m\) and is positioned horizontally to the right of \(O\) at a distance \(l\).The fourth corner (the top right corner) is the point where the gravitational field due to masses at the other three corners needs to be determined. The axes \(x\) and \(y\) are shown intersecting at point \(O\).### Solution OutlineTo find the solution, the following steps should be taken:1. Calculate the gravitational field contribution from each mass individually at the fourth corner.2. Determine the resultant gravitational field vector by vector addition of individual contributions.3. Compute the magnitude of the resultant vector.4. Assess the direction of the resultant vector.The objective is to derive the precise magnitude and direction of the gravitational field at the undetermined fourth corner. This requires understanding the superposition principle and vector addition in the context of gravitational fields.
