Question

What is the gravitational attraction between Mass A (200kg) and Mass B (500kg)? 12m distance between the two masses.

Answer 1

Fg = 4.63×10^-8 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational attraction between two masses m1 and m2 is given by:

Fg = G×m1×m2/(r^2) , where m1 = 200kg ,m2 = 500kg,G is gravitational constant

then:

Fg = [(6.67408×10-11)(200)(500)] /(12^2)

= 4.63×10-8 N

therefore, the gravitational attraction between the mass is 4.63×10-8 N.
