Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

A Freshman MSU student tours around the MSU campus. From the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), he walks 300 m, 25° N of W towards the administration building, then he walks for 450 m, 67° W of S reaching the College of SPEAR. From the College of SPEAR, he walked for another 180 m, 59° S of E to be able to reach the College of Business Administration and Accountancy. In order for the student to return to his starting point (which is the CNSM), how far must he walk and in what direction?
