Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 x 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass 1  = 60kg

Mass 2  = 75kg

Distance between the bodies  = 2m

Unknown:

Gravitational fore  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational force between the two bodies can be derived using;

  F  = $\frac{G mass 1 x mass 2}{distance^{2} }$  

    G is the universal gravitation constant  = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹m³kg⁻¹s⁻²

Insert the parameters and solve;

  F  = $\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 60 x 75}{2^{2} }$   = 7.5 x 10⁻⁸N
