Physics

Two identical particles, each of mass m, are located on the xaxis at x=+x0 and x=-x0

a.

Determine a formula for the gravitational field due to these twoparticles for points on the y axis; that is, write g⃗ g→ as afunction of y, m, x0, and so on.

Express your answers in terms of the variables y, m, x0, andappropriate constants. Enter your answers separated by a comma.

b.

At what point (or points) on the y axis is the magnitude of g⃗g→ a maximum value, and what is its value there? [Hint:Take the derivative dg⃗ /dy.]

Express your answer(s) in terms of the variables y, m, x0, andappropriate constants. If there is more than one point, enter eachpoint separated by a comma.

c.

What is the maximum value of the magnitude of g⃗ g→?

Express your answers in terms of the variables y, m, x0, andappropriate constants.
