If your mass is 63.7 kg, and you are standing 7.5 m away from a boulder witha mass of 0.750.6 kg, what is the gravitational force between you and theboulder ? Newtona taw of gravitation is gravity = amputa, The gravitationalconstant Gis 6.67 10-11 Nm/kgA. 9.82* 10-NB. 7.37* 10-NC. 552* 10-ND. 1.10*10N

The gravitational force is given as:


F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)

Plugging the values given we have:


\begin{gathered} F=(6.67*10^(-11))((63.7)(9750.6))/((7.5)^2) \\ F=7.37*10^(-7) \end{gathered}

Therefore the answer is B.
