Problem#2

Given:

  • Newton’s Gravitational Law states that the force, F, between two bodies with masses m1 and m2, respectively, is given by:

F=G(m1m2/r2)

where G is the universal gravitational constant, and r is distance between the two bodies.

Required:

  • Calculate the gravitational force between two humans of mass 50 kg and 100 kg who are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 m
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that gravitational force between two bodies is,

F=Gm1m2r2           (1)

 

The value of G is G=6.67428 x10-11 Nm2/kg.
