Question
  • There are two spheres each with a mass of 100 kg. If their centers are 100 meters apart, what magnitude of gravitational force does the one sphere exert on the other? The following numerical values may be helpful in this question.

G = 6.67 ∙10-11 N∙m2/ kg2

Earth’s mass = 5.98 · 1024 kilograms

g = 9.80 m/sec2

1 kilometer = 1000 meters
