Explanation- consider a diagram having vertices A,B,C,D,E and F
AC= AG+GC=2AG
= 2lcos300= 2l
=
AD=AH+HJ+JD= lsin300+l+lsin300=2l
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at B is f1= along AB
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at C is f2= along AC
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at D is F3= along AD
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at E is F4= = along AE
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at F is F5= along AF
Resultant force due to F1 and F5 is F1=
= along AD
So net force along AD = F1+F2+F3=
