    The location of L 1 is the solution to the following equation, gravitation providing the centripetal force: = (+) + where r is the distance of the L 1 point from the smaller object, R is the distance between the two main objects, and M 1 and M 2 are the masses of the large and small object, respectively.

  3. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...
