Explanation- consider a diagram having vertices A,B,C,D,E and F

AC= AG+GC=2AG

= 2lcos30⁰= 2l $\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}$

= $\sqrt[]{3}l=AE$

AD=AH+HJ+JD= lsin30⁰+l+lsin30⁰=2l

Force on mass m at A due to mass m at B is f₁= $\frac{Gmm}{l^2}$  along AB

Force on mass m at A due to mass m at C is f₂= $\frac{Gmm}{\sqrt[]{3}{l}^2}=\frac{G{m}^2}{3l^2}$  along AC

Force on mass m at A due to mass m at D is F₃= $\frac{Gmm}{({2l)}^2}=\frac{G{m}^2}{4l^2}$ along AD

Force on mass m at A due to mass m at E is F₄= $\frac{Gmm}{\sqrt[]{3}{l}^2}$ = $\frac{G{m}^2}{3l^2}$ along AE

Force on mass m at A due to mass m at F is F₅= $\frac{G{m}^2}{l^2}$  along AF

Resultant force due to F₁ and F₅ is F₁= $\sqrt[]{f_1^2+f_5^2+2f_1{f}_{2}cos60}$

= $\frac{\sqrt[]{3}G{m}^2}{3l^2}=\frac{G{m}^2}{\sqrt[]{3}{l}^2}$ along AD

So net force along AD = F₁+F₂+F₃= $\frac{G{m}^2}{l^2}+\frac{G{m}^2}{\sqrt[]{3}{l}^2}+\frac{G{m}^2}{4l^2}=\frac{G{m}^2}{l^2}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}}+\frac{1}{4}\right)$
