A very dense 1500-kg point object (

A) and a dense 1200-kg point object (B) are held in place 1.00 m apart on a frictionless table. A third point object is placed between the other two at a point that is 20.0 cm from B along the line connecting A and B. When the third object is suddenly released, find the magnitude and direction (toward A or toward B) of its initial acceleration. (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ? m2/kg2)
