Answer to Question #139342 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Morgan McCormick

Question

the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object is equal to ?

Answer 1

$F_g = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

where;

$F_g$ = Gravitational force acting on object $m$

$M$ = Mass of massive body

$m$ = mass of object

$r$ = distance between the two masses

$G$ = Gravitational constant $(6.67\times10^{-11})$
