Answer:

Given:

3 particles each of 1kg has been placed along the x - axis at 3 points.

Coordinates of the particles:

1. x = 0 m

2. x = 1 m

3. x = 2 m

To find:

Net gravitational force on the particle at x = 0

Diagram:

Please refer to the attached photo to understand better.

Formulas used:

Gravitational force F = (G×M1×M2)/d²

Calculation:

Net force on particle (at x = 0)

= Force by particle (at x= 1) + force by particle (at x=2)

= (G×1×1)/1² + (G×1×1)/2²

= G + G/4

= 5G/4 Newton.

So the correct option is 3) 5G/4.
