Example 3.8.10

The strength of fields such as gravity or electromagnetism is inversely proportional to distance from the source. If two such sources are separated by a distance of L units, determine where on the line connecting the sources will the minimum strength be detected? Assume that the strength of one source is k times that of the other.
