Given,
The mass of one of the objects, M=4.0 kg
The mass of the other object, m=1.0 kg
The distance between the two objects, r=1.0 m
From Newton's Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
Thus the gravitational force between the two given objects is,
[tex]F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}[/tex]Where G=6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.
On substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times4.0\times1.0}{1.0^2} \\ =2.67\times10^{-10}\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the
