With what force are two bodies weighing 6 kg and 20 kg attracted, located at a distance of 2 cm from each other?

Task data: m1 (mass of the first body taken) = 6 kg; m2 (mass of the second body taken) = 20 kg; r (distance between the bodies taken) = 2 cm (in SI r = 0.02 m).

Reference values: G (gravitational constant) = 6.674 * 10 ^ -11 m3 / (s2 * kg).

The force of attraction between two bodies taken is determined by the formula: F = G * m1 * m ^ 2 / r ^ 2.

Let’s perform the calculation: F = 6.674 * 10 ^ -11 * 6 * 20 / 0.02 ^ 2 = 20 * 10 ^ -6 N or 20 μN.

Answer: Two taken bodies are attracted with a force of 20 μN.
