Newton's universal law of gravity
[tex]F=G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^2^{}}[/tex]Where:
F= force between objects
m1= mass 1 = 15,000 kg
m2= mass 2 = 6x10^24
r = distance = 34,000,000 m
G= universal contant of gravitation = 6.67 x10^-11
Replacing:
[tex]F=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\cdot\frac{15,000\cdot6x10^{24}}{(34,000,000)^2}[/tex]F= 5,193 N
