A physics student has a mass of 60 kg. She tosses a pencil to her classmate who is sitting 5 meters away. Her classmate has a mass of 75 kg. What is the gravitational force between the classmates?

Please help!​

Newton’s Law of Gravitation:
F = (G M m) / r^2
F = (6.67x10^-11 x 60 x 75 ) / 5^2

Let me know if this makes sense.
