Question

Two objects with massesof 1.0 kg and 2.0 kg are 1.0 m apart. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between these masses?

Answer 1

The mass of the first object is

The mass of the second object is

*The distance between the objects is

`d=1.0\text{m}`

The gravitational force betwen them is,

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)`

here,

`G=6.67*10^(-11)Nm^2.kg^(-2)`

Substituting the values we get,

`\begin{gathered} F=6.67*10^(-11)*(1.0*2.0)/((1.0)^2) \\ =1.33*10^(-10)\text{N} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the gravitational force has the magnitude of

`1.33*10^(-10)\text{ N}`
