- 1. Newton's Law of Gravitation (an example of an inverse square law) states that the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects with masses m and M is |F| mMG |r|2 where r is the distance between the objects, and G is the gravitational constant. Assume that the object with mass M is located at the origin in R³. Then, the gravitational force field acting on the object at the point r = (x, y, z) is given by F(x, y, z) = mMG r3 r. mMG mMG Show that the scalar vector field f(x, y, z) = = is a potential function for r √√x² + y² . Fi.e. show that F = Vf. Remark: f is the negative of the physical potential energy, because F = -V(-ƒ).arrow_forward2. Suppose f(x) = 3x² - 5x.

- A tank contains 60 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 8 L/min. The solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the rate 11 L/min. Let y be the number of kg of salt in the tank after t minutes.
