Chapter 4.6, Problem 13C

Use Newton’s law of universal gravitation to find the gravitational force between the Earth and Sun. The gravitational constant G is $6.674\times {10}^{–11}$

; the distance from the Earth to the Sun is $1.496\times {10}^{11}$

meters; the mass of Earth is $5.974\times {10}^{24}$

kg; the mass of the Sun is $1.989\times {10}^{30}$ kilograms. (The units of force are the kilogram meter per second squared, also known as the Newton.)
