  • Calculate Gravitational Force: Two 14kg Spheres 6m Apart - Physics Explained
    Here's how to calculate the gravitational force between the two masses:

    1. Understand the Formula

    The force of gravity between two objects is given by Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

    * F = (G * m1 * m2) / r²

    where:

    * F = force of gravity

    * G = gravitational constant (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg²)

    * m1 = mass of object 1 (14 kg)

    * m2 = mass of object 2 (14 kg)

    * r = distance between the centers of the objects (6 meters)

    2. Plug in the Values

    F = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg² * 14 kg * 14 kg) / (6 m)²

    3. Calculate

    F ≈ 3.44 × 10⁻⁹ N

    Therefore, the gravitational force between the two spherical masses is approximately 3.44 × 10⁻⁹ Newtons.
