Find expression for restoring force on asteroid oscillation


Two equally massive stars (mass M1) are separated from each other a distance 2d. A small asteroid (mass m2, m2 << M1) is located between the two stars and is displaced a small distance along the perpendicular bisector, equidistant to both stars. (a) Find an expression for the restoring force on the asteroid that drives it into a vertical oscillation.
