Three particles of mass $1 \, kg$ each are placed at $(0, 0)$,$(0, 0.2 \, m)$,and $(0.2 \, m, 0)$. What is the net gravitational force on the particle placed at the origin?

  • A
    $1.67 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$
  • B
    $3.34 \times 10^{-10} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$
  • C
    $1.67 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$
  • D
    $3.34 \times 10^{-9} (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, N$
