Total Force in Deep Space

Total Force in Deep Space#

There are two objects surrounding our spaceship in deep space. Object A is a cube with sides 1.33 m. It has a density of 21859.0 kgm3 and it is at position (2,2). The other one, Object B, is a sphere with radius 2.63 m. It has a density of 18366.0 kgm3 and it is at position (4,−3). Our space shuttle has a mass of params.m metric tons and is at the origin. Find the total gravitational force on the spaceship.
Note:
Volume of a Sphere: V=43.Ï€.r3
Volume of a Cube: V=a3
Volume of a Cylinder: V=Ï€.r2.h
Volume of a Cone: V=13.Ï€.r2.h
G=6.67×10−11 m3.kg−1.s−2
The coordinates are in the metric system.
