The gravitational force between the two balls is $6.13\cdot 10^{-9} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the balls in this problem, we have

$m_1 = 6.8 kg$

$m_2 = 7.4 kg$

r = 0.74 m

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force between the two balls:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(6.8)(7.4)}{(0.74)^2}=6.13\cdot 10^{-9}N$
