Using the Newton's Second Law for a System of Particles Calculator

If there are only two objects available, please leave the box of the third mass (i.e. m3) empty.

If there are only two dimensions available, please leave the values of the third coordinate empty (i.e. z1, z2 and z3).

If there is any missing components of force, please leave them empty.
