Gravitational Force and Two Masses

This problem is from the Giancoli Physics 6e text book. You can find it on Chapter 5. #33. I am aware that the answer is in the back of the book, but I feel it is important that others understand the process of getting to that answer. The book doesn't do this. Alrighty, here you go:

Two objects attract each other gravitationally with a force of 2.5 x 10-10 N when they are 0.25 m apart. Their total mass is 4.0 kg. Find their individual masses.

Alright, so here are our givens:

Fg = 2.5 x 10-10 N

d = 0.25 m

m1 + m2 = 4.0 kg

We can therefore say that:

m2 = 4.0kg - m1 and

m1 = 4.0kg - m2

We use the equation for Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

Fg = (G m1m2)/ d2

We solve the equation for m1m2

m1m2 = Fgd2 / G

After entering our values (remember to square the distance), we have the equation:

m1m2 = 0.23425kg

Since m1 = 4.0kg - m2

We can enter that equation into m1m2 = 0.23425kg

to get the equation:

m2(4.0kg - m2) = 0.23425kg

I will now stop using units (we know that the units are kg) because it makes it easier to see what I am doing.

Distribute the m2

4.0 m2 - m22 = 0.23425

We re-write as:

m22 - 4.0 m2 + 0.23425 = 0

We now have a quadratic equation that will give us two answers! These two answers will be the two masses.

Using the quadratic formula:

x = ( -b +/- √b2 - 4ac )/ 2a

m = (4.0 +/- √16 - 0.937) / 2

m = (4.0 +/- 3.8811) / 2

m = (4.0 + 3.8811) / 2     or       m = (4.0 - 3.8811) / 2

m = 3.94 kg   or m = 0.0595 kg

The final answers are:

mass 1 = 3.9 kg mass 2 = 0.1 kg
