Question:

Recall Newton's Law of Gravitation, which asserts that the magnitude F of the force of attraction between objects of masses M and m is F = GMm/r2, where r is the distance between them and G is a universal constant. Let an object of mass M be located at the origin, and suppose that a second object of changing mass m (say from fuel consumption) is moving away from the origin so that its position vector is r = xi + vj + zk. Obtain a formula for dF/dt in terms of the time derivatives of m, x, y, and z.
