Given:

m1=0.066kgm_1=0.066\:\rm kg

m2=0.035kgm_2=0.035\:\rm kg

F=6.5103NF=6.5*10^{-3}\:\rm N


The Newton's law of universal gravitation says

F=Gm1m2r2F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Hence, the distance between bodies

r=Gm1m2Fr=\sqrt{G\frac{m_1m_2}{F}}

r=6.6710110.0660.0356.5103=4.9106mr=\sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}\frac{0.066*0.035}{6.5*10^{-3}}}=4.9*10^{-6}\rm\: m
