# A \(1.5 \, \text{kg}\) object is located at a distance of \(1.7 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m}\) from the center of a larger object whose mass is \(7.4 \times 10^{22} \, \text{kg}\).

A \(1.5 \, \text{kg}\) object is located at a distance of \(1.7 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m}\) from the center of a larger object whose mass is \(7.4 \times 10^{22} \, \text{kg}\).

**Part a)** What is the magnitude of the force acting on the smaller object? *(3 points)*

**Part b)** What is the magnitude of the force acting on the larger object? *(3 points)*

**Part c)** What is the acceleration of the smaller object when it is released? *(3 points)*
