Planet A has a mass of mA = 1.50 × 1024 kg and planet B has a mass of mB = 2.40 × 1023 kg. The planets are a distance d = 1.50 × 108 km apart. Suppose your mass is 85.0 kg, and you are located exactly half way in between the two planets. Calculate the total gravitational force on your body due to the two planets.
