We are given:

Mass of object 1(m₁) = 3000 kg

Mass of object 2(m₂) = 4500 kg

Distance between their centers(r) = 1.5 m

Gravitational Attraction between the objects:

We know the formula:

g = G(m₁)(m₂) / r² ,where G is the universal Gravitational Constant and g is the force of attraction

g = (6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 3 * 10³ * 4.5 * 10³) / (1.5)²

g = [(6.67 * 3 * 4.5) * (10³⁺³⁻¹¹)] / 2.25

g = (90 * 10⁻⁵) / 2.25

g = 40 * 10⁻⁵ N
