Answer:


F=3.37* 10^(-8)\ N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of student 1, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of student 2, m₂ = 70 kg

The distance between the students, d = 3 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two students. The formula for the magnitude of the gravitational force between two masses is given by :


F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (65* 70)/((3)^2)\\F=3.37* 10^(-8)\ N

So, the gravitational force between the two students is
3.37* 10^(-8)\ N.
