In Figure particle A is fixed in place at x = 0.20 m on the x axis and particle B, with a mass of 1.0 kg, is fixed in place at the origin. Particle C (not shown) can be moved along the x axis, between particle B and x = ?. Figure shows the x component Fnet,x of the net gravitational force on particle B due to particles A and C, as a function of position x of particle C. The plot actually extends to the right, approaching an asymptote of - 4.17 x 10-10 N as x ??. What are the masses of?(a) Particle A and(b) Particle C?
