Question

what Is the gravitational force between a roast beef sandwich (m = .05 kg) and a hungry tarantula (m = 87 grams) if they are 17 cm apart?

Answer 1

Gravitational force,
`F=1.003* 10^(-11)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of roast beef sandwich, m₁ = 0.05 kg

Mass of hungry tarantula, m₂ = 87 gm = 0.087 kg

Distance between two objects, d = 17 cm = 0.17 m

We need to find the gravitational force between them. It is given by :

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)`

`F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (0.05\ kg* 0.087\ kg)/((0.17\ m)^2)`

`F=1.003* 10^(-11)\ N`

So, the gravitational force between two objects is
`F=1.003* 10^(-11)\ N`. Hence, this is the required solution.
