Answer:

d = 10 inch

Explanation:

The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.

So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:

d = √(a²) + (b)²

Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght  of the diameter of both circles.

With this, the expression is this:

d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10 inches

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo
galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

Kruka [31]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.
