You are seated in your physics class next to another student 0.60 m away. Estimate the magnitude of the gravitational force between you. Assume that you each have a mass of 65 kg.
Added by Kacia G.
Step 1
67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \), \( m_1 = 65 \, \text{kg} \), \( m_2 = 65 \, \text{kg} \), and \( r = 0.60 \, \text{m} \). Show more…

You are sitting in the front row in your physics class. Estimate the gravitational force that the instructor exerts on you. Identify the assumptions and approximations you made to reach your answer. How does the magnitude that you estimate for this force compare with the gravity force exerted on you by the earth?
