Answer 1

Answer:

No, If earth attracts two objects with equal force we can't say that their masses are equal.

Reason:

Force of attraction is given by

F = GMm/R^2

Here,

F is force of attraction,

G is gravitating constant,

are the masses,

R is distance between them.

For the objects if the force is same, but masses can't be same because their distances from earth maybe unequal.
