Answer:
Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater ...
Can you include an image of the object and it’s dimensions?
Somewhere in your book or your notes, you must have met the formula for the
gravitational attraction between two bodies. If you can go back and find it, you
only need to plug your numbers into that formula, and out will pop the answer.
Formula: <u>Force = G (mA x mB) / (distance)²</u>
If everything is in SI units, then G = 6.67 x10⁻¹¹ newton-meter² / kilogram²
You said that
mA = 8.1 kg
mB = 6.5 kg
distance = 0.5 m .
Force = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ nt-m²/kg²) (8.1kg x 6.5kg / (0.5m)² =
(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ nt-m²/kg²) ( 52.65 kg² ) / (0.25 m²) =
<em>1.4047 x 10⁻⁸ newtons .</em>
That's roughly 5.052 x 10⁻⁸ ounce . (5% of one micro-ounce)
