Question
Calculate the force between two point masses of 50 kg and 100 kg separated by a distance of 10 m.
Options:
A .  444.5×10−10 N
B .  3.335×10−9 N
C .  6.67×10−10 N
D .  2.27×10−11 N
Answer: Option B
:
B
Given, mass of first body, m1=50kg and mass of second body, m2=100kg
Distance between the two masses is, r=10m.
According to Universal law of gravitation, force of attraction between two bodies is
F=Gm1m2r2
where, G is the gravitational constant and G=6.67×1011Nm2kg2
F=6.67×1011×50×100102
F=33.35×1010 N
F=3.335×109 N
