Three equal masses of \(m\) kg each are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle \(ABC.\) What is the force acting on a mass \(2m\) placed at the centroid \(G\) of the triangle? 
(Take \(AG=BG=CG=1\) m.)

       

1. \(Gm^2(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)
2. \(Gm^2(\hat{i}-\hat{j})\)
3. zero
4. \(2Gm^2(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)

Three equal masses of m kg each are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle ABC. What is the force acting on a mass 2m placed at the centroid G of the triangle if the mass at the vertex A is doubled? Take AG = BG = CG = 1 m.

1.   \(Gm^{2}   \left(\hat{i} + \hat{j}\right)\)

2.   \(Gm^{2}   \left(\hat{i} - \hat{j}\right)\)

3.   0

4.   \(2Gm^{2} \hat{j}\)
