Answer: [tex]1.45(10)^{-7} N[/tex]
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force [tex]F[/tex] exerted between two bodies of masses [tex]m1[/tex] and [tex]m2[/tex] and separated by a distance [tex]r[/tex] is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:
[tex]F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]G=6.674x10^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}[/tex]is the gravitational constant, which was thanks to Cavendish experiment
[tex]m1=0.730 kg[/tex]
[tex]m2=158 kg[/tex]
[tex]r=0.230 m[/tex]
[tex]F=6.674x10^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(0.730 kg)(158 kg)}{(0.230 m)^2}[/tex]
Solving:
[tex]F=0.000000145 N= 1.45(10)^{-7} N[/tex]
