a. A lamina has constant density and takes the shape of a disk withcenter the origin and radius R. Use Newton's Law of Gravitation to show that the magnitude of the force of attraction thatthe lamina exerts on a body with mass m located at the point (0,0,d)on the positive z-axis isF=2Gmd(1d-1R2+d22)Rij.that occupies an entire plane onan object with mass mlocated at a distance d from the plane isF=2GmNotice that this expression does not depend ond.
