Question: Two dimensions in Figure three point particles are fixed in place in a xy plane. Particle A has mass mA, particle B has mass 2.00mA,

Two dimensions in Figure three point particles are fixed in place in a xy plane. Particle A has mass mA, particle B has mass 2.00mA, and particle C has mass 3.00mn. A fourth particle D, with mass 4.00ma, is to be placed near the other three particles. In terms of distance d, at what(a) x coordinate and(b) y coordinate should particle D be placed so that the net gravitational force on particle A from particles B, C, and D iszero?1.5d
