No Newton could not solve it. LaGrange solved it for special cases and discovered 5 places where a satelite can safely orbit with two large bodies. With the advent of chaos theory in the late 1900's it was shown that three bodies exhibit chaotic behavior and there is no general solution to the three body problem.
To refute the first answerer Newton proved lots of stuff. Einstein did not "disprove" Newton he added terms that can be ignored for all everyday calculations but must be taken into account when considering objects traveling near the speed of light. Also even without Newtons three laws of motion and the theory of universal gravitation the "Newt-meister" would still be an alltime great, for his work on the theory of light, the invention of calculus and that delicious fig cookie ;). I think most scientist rate him a little above Einstein.

realize that Newton solved nothing. All of his physics work was disproved by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

a million. f= m*a so f/m = a --- now you're saying exchange in velocity is = constant_acceleration*time (v= a*t) so v/a=t and t = v/(f/m) = v*m/f = forty*ninety/one hundred twenty --- it is exchange in velocity , in case you anticipate that that's what the question is definitely asking for then you are o.ok. 2. assuming that g is 32 feet/s/s then anticipate that the plane is frictionless and in a vacuum then left to itself the physique will advance up down the plane at 2/5*32 feet/s/s so in case you exert adequate tension to advance up it at 4+sixty 4/5 feet/s/s it is it. f=ma and so which you decide on eighty 4*eighty/5 = eighty 4*sixteen feet-lb
