(a small rocky body orbiting are positioned as shown, right triangle. Find the net e 2.5 million \( \mathrm{kg} \) asteroid.

Steps: 1. Find each force of gravity on it and draw in the vectors. 2. Find the angle at the lower right. 3. One force vector is to the left; break the other one down into components. 4. Find the resultant vector: magnitude via Pythagorean theorem; direction via inverse tangent.
