Use the data of Table 7.3 to find the point between Pluto and the Sun at which an object can be placed so that the net gravitational force exerted by Pluto and the Sun on this object is zero. Answer is m from center of Pluto.
Data from table:
Pluto's radius = 1.5e6
Pluto's distance from the sun = 5.91e12
Sun's radius = 6.96e8
Info from notes:
G = 6.67e11
F=G(m1m2/r^2)
I'm assuming you use this equation and set the two sides equal, but I can't get it to work. Thanks in advance!
