Given data:
* The mass of the first bowling ball is 10.1 kg.
* The mass of the second bowling ball is 8.4 kg.
* The distance between the bowling balls is 1.25 m.
Solution:
The gravitational force between the bowling balls is,
[tex]F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]where G is the graviatational constant, m_1 is the mass of first bowling ball, m_2 is the mass of second bowling ball, and r is the distance between the bowling balls,
[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times10.1\times8.4}{1.25^2} \\ F=362.16\times10^{-11}\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the gravitational force acting between the bowling balls is,
[tex]362.16\times10^{-11}\text{ N}[/tex]
