The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately by Henry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balance

to measure the force between two lead spheres whose centers were 0.29 m apart. One of the spheres had a mass of 148 kg, while the mass of the other sphere was 0.63 kg.What was the ratio of the gravitational force between these spheres to the weight of the lighter sphere?

Answer:

1.198*10^{-8}

Explanation:

The law of gravitation has to be used in this question along with Newton's second law

Ratio = \frac{Gravitational force}{weight of the smaller sphere}= \frac{\frac{6.674*10^{-11*148*0.63} }{0.29^{2} } }{0.63 kg * 9.8} = 1.198*10^{-8}

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound
Yanka [14]

The answer is C.

Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point).  Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.
