Answer:
In order to calculate the gravitational force between two objects with masses of m1 and m2 , the equation is: where G is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1), r is the distance between the two objects, and F is the magnitude of the force between the objects.

Answer:
You should use the equation F = (GMm)/r^2.
Explanation:
Use Newton's law of universal gravitation formula:
F = (GMm)/r^2
where:
F = gravitational force (in Newtons)
M is the mass of object 1 (in kg)
m is the mass of object 2 (in kg)
r is the distance between the CENTRES of objects 1 and 2 (in metres)
G is the gravitational constant (6.7 x 10^-11 N m^2 kg^-2)
