A 235 kg object and a [tex]1.37 \times 10^{12} \text{ kg}[/tex] object are located [tex]2.59 \times 10^4 \text{ m}[/tex] away from each other. What is the force due to gravity between the two objects?

Answer :

The force due to gravity between the two objects is 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N.

Gravity or attraction pulls objects with mass together. We often think about Earth's gravity. This force locks the body to the ground. However, all objects with mass exert gravitational force on all other objects with mass.

Solution:

The gravitational force of attraction between the two objects is:

[tex]F=G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2} }[/tex]

where,

F = gravitational force = ?

Gravitational Constant (G)= 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Mass of object 1 ()m1= 235 kg

Mass of object 2(m2) = 1.37 x 10¹² kg

Distance between objects(r) = 2.59 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

[tex]F=6.67*10^{-11} \frac{235*1.37*10^{12} }{(2.59*10^{4}) ^{2} }[/tex]

F = 3.2 x 10⁻⁵ N.
