A 72.5 kg student sits at a desk 1.25 m away from a 80.0 kg student. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two students?

A 725 kg student sits at a desk 125 m away from a 800 kg student What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two students class=

Respuesta :

Given:

The mass of one student is,

[tex]m_1=72.5\text{ kg}[/tex]

The mass of the other student is,

[tex]m_2=80.0\text{ kg}[/tex]

The distance between them is,

[tex]d=1.25\text{ m}[/tex]

The gravitational force between them is,

[tex]F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Here the gravitational constant is,

[tex]G=6.6\times10^{-11}\text{ }\frac{N.m^2}{\operatorname{kg}}[/tex]

Substituting the values we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{(6.6\times10^{-11})\times72.5\times80.0}{(1.25)^2} \\ =2.5\times10^{-7}\text{N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the second option is correct.
