Question

Tom has a mass of 70.8 kg and Sally has a

mass of 48.1 kg. Tom and Sally are standing
31.3 m apart on a massless dance floor. Sally
looks up and she sees Tom. She feels an
attraction.
If the attraction is gravitation, find its magnitude. Assume both can be replaced by point
masses and that the gravitational constant is
6.67259 × 10^−11 N · m^2
/kg^2

Answer in units of N.

Answer 1

The Gravitational Attraction of Tom and Sally is 28.4631292 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force formula is

gravitational force = (gravitationalconstant)(massofobject1)(massofobject2)/(distancebetweenobjects)^2

So if you plug in the values given, you get 28.4631292.
