Problem B10: Consider the two objects below. One is very small (point object) with mass m, and the other is a very thin circular ring of radius R and mass M. The object of mass m is located on the axis of the ring as shown in the figure. The angle α is the angle between the axis and a line drawn from the object to the ring. Note: sin(α)=n₁/n₂. What is the gravitational potential energy U of the mass and ring in the figure if U=0 when the object is at the center of the ring? If U=GMm/(Rn₃) in the figure, what is n₃? All the integers are unitless,

n1 =	n2 =	Input n3:
