Question

Four masses, which are called: m1=5 $$kgm_1=5$$	ext{ kg}, m2=4 $$kgm_2=4$$	ext{  kg}, m3=3 $$kgm_3=3$$	ext{  kg}, and m4=6 $$kgm_4=6$$	ext{  kg}, are positioned at the corners of a rectangle as shown below. Determine what the xx and yy components of the gravitational force exerted on mass m1m_1 due to the other three masses will be. Express the force in vector notation using i^\hat{i} and j^\hat{j}.
