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.
