Question

What is the gravitational force acting on a 59-kg person due to another 59-kg person standing 2.0 m away? We can model each person as a small sphere. (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ∙ m2/kg2)

Answer 1

5.8*10^-8 N

Step-by-step explanation:

`F_(g) =(G*m_(1) *m_2)/(r^(2) ) \\`, Where G is the Universal gravitational constant 6.67 *10^(-11), m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between them.

We plug in and get

`F_g= (6.67^(-11)*59*59 )/(2^(2) ) = 5.8*10^(-8)` N

Hope this helps
