PROBLEM 1. An isolated system consists of three objects (point particles) with masses: m₁ = 3.00 kg, m₂ = 4.00 kg, and m3 = 5.00 kg. Relative to an xy-coordinate system,

the objects are located at positions: r₁ = (0.00m, 0.00m), 1₂ = (0.00m, 2.00m), and 13 = (2.00m, 0.00m). An "isolated system" means that the three objects can interact with each other, but there are no interactions with any objects outside of this system! 1(a). Draw a diagram representing this situation. Identify and label all forces of interaction on all three objects. Hint: Think universal gravitation and the pairwise nature of all forces! Paste a photo or scanned image of your hand drawn diagram in this box (you can erase this text). Resize your image to fit in the box as best as possible./n1(b). Determine the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on Object 1. Use a diagram to clearly indicate what your calculated direction means! Hint: The magnitude should work out to be 3.20x10-10 N. Paste a photo or scanned image of your handwritten calculations in this box (you can erase this text). Resize your image to fit in the box as best as possible.
