Question

Two students are measuring the Gravitational Attraction between each other. One student weighs 120 kg. The other student weighs 108 kg. Calculate the gravitational pull they have on each other.

Answer 1

`F=8.64* 10^(-9)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of student 1, m₁ = 120 kg

Mass of student 2, m₂ = 108 kg

Let they are at a distance of 10 m.

We need to find the gravitational pull they have on each other. The gravitational force acting between two objects is given by :

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (120* 108)/((10)^2)\\\\=8.64* 10^(-9)\ N`

So, the gravitational pull between students is
`8.64* 10^(-9)\ N`.
