1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Three particles with masses m1=2.5kg, m2=1.2kg and unknown mass m3 are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 30.0cm. If the resultant force in x-direction acting on m1 is zero, find the net force acting on m1.
2. Relevant equations
F=(Gm1m2)/R^2
Fx=Fcosθ
Fy=Fsinθ
F=sqrt/(Fx)^2 +(Fy)^2
3. The attempt at a solution
Since Fx on m1=0
Fm1 cos 60 = 0
Fm1 = 0
The Fy on m1 = 0
Fy = Fm1 sin 60
Fy = 0 sin 60
Fy = 0
So does it mean the net force acting on m1 is
F=sqrt/(0)^2 +(0)^2
F=0N ?
