What is the magnitude of the net gravitational force on object m3 along the y axis? m1 = 2300 kg, m2 = 3400 kg, m3 = 1995 kg, m4 = 2000 kg
m1, m2, and m4 are all 1.5 m from m3.
theta = 120 degrees

The answer is 5.1 x 10^-5 N
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I used F = FMM'/r2 and added all of the forces. Maybe I'm making the wrong forces negative? Can anyone do this step by step? Thank you!
