Q11 of 176 Page 100

Give the formula for the gravitational force F between two bodies of masses M and m kept at a distance d from each other.

The gravitational force F between two bodies of masses M and m kept at a distance d from each other is:

F = G * m * M/ d2


Here gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10-11 Nm2kg-2
