A very dense 1500-kg point mass (

A) and a dense 1200-kg point mass (B) are held in place 1.00 m apart on a frictionless table. A third point mass is placed between the other two at a point that is 20.0 cm from B along the line connecting A and B. When the third mass is suddenly released, find the magnitude and direction (toward A or toward B) of its initial acceleration. (G = 6.67 10-11 N m2/kg2 )

Question 2

A) the first force (exerted perpendicular to the door)
B) the second force (exerted at an angle)
C) Both forces exert equal non-zero torques.
D) Both forces exert zero torque.
