With what force are two bodies weighing 5 tons attracted at a distance of 10 meters?

Initial data: m1 (mass of the first body) = m2 (mass of the second body) = 5 t, R (distance between these bodies) = 10 m.

Constants: G (gravitational constant) = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11 m ^ 3 / (kg * s ^ 2).

SI system: m1 = m2 = 5 t = 5000 kg.

The force with which two given bodies are attracted to each other, we calculate using the formula:

F = G * m1 * m2 / R ^ 2 = G * m1 ^ 2 / R ^ 2.

Let’s do the calculation:

F = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11 * 5000 ^ 2/10 ^ 2 = 16.675 * 10 ^ -6 H = 16.675 μN.

Answer: Two bodies will attract with a force of 16.675 μN.
