Question

Two 1 Kg masses are 1 cm apart. What is the force felt by one of these masses due to the other mass?

Answer 1

Gravitational force between two 1 kg mass is given as

`F = 6.67 * 10^(-7) N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational force of attraction between two masses is given by the formula

`F = (Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

now we know that

`m_1 = m_2 = 1 kg`

r = 1 cm

so we will have

`F = ((6.67 * 10^(-11))(1)(1))/(0.01^2)`

`F = 6.67 * 10^(-7) N`
