Two small particles of mass 16 kg and 34 kg are a distance 1.6 m apart. What is the gravitational force of one of these particles on the other?
+23247 I have only restricted knowledge of physics, but let me try:
Gravitational Force = G * m1 * m2 / d²
where G is the constant 6.673 x 10^-11 Newton-meters² / kilograms²
m1 and m2 are the two masses, in kilograms
d is the distance between the centers of the masses, in meters
For this problem: GF = (6.673 x 10^-11 N-m/kg²) x (16 kg) X (34 kg) / (1.6 m)²
GF = 1.4 x 10^-8 Newtons
