Two 3.7 kg physical science textbooks on a bookshelf are 0.33 m apart. What is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction between the books?
Universal gravitational constant \(G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \frac{\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}}{\mathrm{~kg}^{2}}\)
Mass of two text books \(m_{1}=m_{2}=3.7 \mathrm{~kg}\) The books are separated by a distance \(r=0.33 \mathrm{~m}\)
The magnitude of gravitational attraction between the books is
$$ \begin{aligned} F &=\frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}} \\ &=\frac{\left(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \frac{\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}}{\mathrm{~kg}^{2}}\right)(3.7 \mathrm{~kg})(3.7 \mathrm{~kg})}{(0.33 \mathrm{~m})^{2}} \\ =& 8.38 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$

a. Two 700-kg masses (1543 lb) are separated by a distance of 33 m. Using Newton’s law of gravitation, find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other. (Use G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2.) (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one mass on the other is ___________ × 10–9 N. b. Two masses are attracted by a gravitational force of 0.36 N. What will...
