Question

newton's law of gravitation is given by the formula F=G(M1M2)/D2 where f is the force between two objects of masses m1 and m2. G is the gravitational constant and d is the distance between two objects.

solve the formula m1

Answer 1

Trinity,

To solve for m₁,

F = G(m₁m₂ )/D²

Multiply both sides by D²

Divide both sides by G and by m₂

FD²/(Gm₂ ) = m₁

 

You may also represent the formula by,

F = G (Mm)/r², where r is the distance between the two masses, so

M = Fr²/(Gm)
