I am trying to find the energy to hold 3 Earth size planets together in a form of balance on a 2D plane.
I got all this information from finding the
From my quick search here, it looks like when it comes to center of mass calcs, Potential Energy is used:
I got all this information from finding the
- Triangle sides = 6.278e+8 in / 2 = 313900000 in radius of a side
- Triangle height = 543690748 in / 2 = 271845374 in radius of height
- Mass 1 = (0, 0)
- Mass 2 = (6.278e+8, 0)
- Mass 3 = (313900000, 543690748)
- Center of mass: (313900000 in, 181230249.334 in) = 3.62e+8 in = 9194800 m
- Regular hypotenuse (Radius from center of triangle) = 4.15e+8 in = 10541000 m
- Earth Planets mass = 5.972e+24 kg * 3 = 1.792e+25 kg (total mass)
From my quick search here, it looks like when it comes to center of mass calcs, Potential Energy is used:
- Low End (CoM) = 9194800 m * 1 g * 1.792e+25 kg = 1.6158497227264e+33 Joules (Planet Level)
- High End (RH) = 10541000 m * 1 g * 1.792e+25 kg = 1.852424405888e+33 Joules (Planet Level)
