Step 1
Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Show more…

Two 700-kg masses (1543 lb) are separated by a distance of 36 m. Using Newton's law of gravitation, find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other. (Use G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N·m^2/kg^2.) The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other is __ × 10^-9 N.

Two 700-kg masses (1543 lb) are separated by a distance of 33 m. Using Newton's law of gravitation, find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other. (Use G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N·m^2/kg^2.) (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other is ___ × 10^-9 N.
