Answer 1

a

Step-by-step explanation:

As an estimate, consider the two objects as particles separated by 7m.

Take the universal gravitational constant G as 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

The required gravitational force

= [6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1 × 28] / 7²

≈ 3.811428571 × 10^(-11) N

= 3.81 × 10^(-11) N (corr. to 3 sig. fig.)

∴ The answer should be a. 3.81
