2 Two Small Green Objects Each Of Mass M Are Separated By A Solid Massless Rod Of Length L They Are Located So Th 1 (280.36 KiB) Viewed 48 times

2. Two small (green) objects, each of mass m, are separated by a solid, massless rod of length L. They are located so that one of the objects is located at a distance of r away from the center of a uniform spherical planet with mass M (see figure). M r m L m Assume that m is very small so that you can ignore the gravitational force between the two small (green) objects. Is the rod being compressed, stretched, or neither? If compressed/stretched, calculate the magnitude of this deformation force on the rod. If neither, explain clearly why. (15 points)
