Question

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.

Answer 1

Answer:

$F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

So, the force between them is $8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$.
