A75.0 kg students sits 1.15 m away from a 68.4 kg student. what is the force of gravitational attraction between them?
give answer in scientific notation.

F=2.589×10⁻⁷ Newtons

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is given by

F= Gm₁m₂/r²

Where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two bodies, G is the universal gravitational constant while r is the distance between the two bodies.

G=6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹m³kg⁻¹s⁻²

r=1.15m

m₁=75.0kg

m₂=68.4kg

Therefore F= (6.67408×10⁻¹¹m³kg⁻¹s⁻²×75.0kg×68.4kg)/(1.15m)²

F=2.589×10⁻⁷ Newtons
