Two 125,000.0-kg objects are positioned such that their centers are 75,000.0 m apart. What is the gravitational force between the two objects? (G = 6.674 × 10–11 N(m/kg)2)

Answer 1

The gravitational force between the two objects is given by F = G(m₁m₂ ÷ r²) or 6.674 · 10^‾11(N · m²/kg²) times 125000²/75000²(kg²/m²) or 1.853888889 ·10‾¹⁰ Newtons.
