Three uniform spheres are fixed at the positions shown in Fig. 12.36.
(a) What are the magnitude and direction of the force on a 0.0150-kg particle placed at P?
(b) If the spheres are in deep outer space and a 0.0150- kg particle is released from rest 300 m from the origin along a line 45° below the -x-axis, what will the particle's speed be when it reaches the origin?
