Problem#2
Given:
- Newton’s Gravitational Law states that the force, F, between two bodies with masses m1 and m2, respectively, is given by:
F=G(m1m2/r2)
where G is the universal gravitational constant, and r is distance between the two bodies.
Required:
- Calculate the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon for an average distance of 385,000 km.
- Calculate the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun, and the Earth and Jupiter.
