Answer 2

Force =
`4.16* 10^(29)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sun (M) =
`1.99* 10^(30)\ kg`

mass of Jupiter (m) =
`7.79* 10^8\ kg`

Distance between Sun and Jupiter (d) =
`1.90* 10^(27)\ kg`

The gravitational force between the two is given as:

`F_g=(GMm)/(d^2)`

Where,
`G=6.674* 10^(-11)\ m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2)`

Now, plug in all the given values and solve for
`F_g`. This gives,

`F_g=(6.674* 10^(-11)* 1.99* 10^(30)*1.90* 10^(27) )/((7.79* 10^8)^2)\\\\F_g=4.16* 10^(29)\ N`

Therefore, the gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter to three significant figures is
`4.16* 10^(29)\ N`
