Say you have two protons which are 1m apart. The mass of a proton is, m_p = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg and charge is, q_p = 1.6 * 10^-19 C. Newton’s constant, G_N = 6.67 * 10^-11 N m^2 kg^-2 and Coulomb constant, k = 8.987 * 10^9 N m^2 C^-2. Calculate this ratio:    Gravitational force between the protons / Electrostatic force between the protons. What can you conclude from this?
