Question

calculate the force of attraction between two bodies, each of mass 100 kg and separated by a

distance of 1metre.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.67 X 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

According to newton's universal law of gravitation, force between two objects having mass m1 and m2 respectively separated by a distance 'd' can be given by below formula:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} } \\\\Here, m_{1} = 100 kg , m_{2} = 100 kg \\and \\d = 1 m \\G = 6.67 X 10^{-11} Nm^{2} kg^{-2} \\\\So, F = \frac{6.67 X 10^{-11} X 100 X 100 }{(1)^{2} } = 6.67 X 10^{-4} N$
