Answer:
7229 N
Explanation:
The gravitational force between the Death Star and the Millenium Falcon is given by:
[tex]F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}[/tex]
where
[tex]G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}[/tex] is the gravitational constant
[tex]M=5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg[/tex] is the mass of the Death Star
[tex]m=1.36\cdot 10^6 kg[/tex] is the mass of the Millennium Falcon
[tex]R=\frac{160,000 m}{2}=80,000 m[/tex] is the radius of the Death Star
Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force
[tex]F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.36\cdot 10^6 kg)(5.1\cdot 10^{17} kg)}{(80,000 m)^2}=7229 N[/tex]
