Let planet A have a mass of 5.44 x 1045 kg and planet B have a mass of 2.77 x 1033 kg. If they are attracted by a gravitational force of 6.59 x 103 N, how far apart are their centers of mass?
Let ,
mass of planet A =m1 = 5.44 × 1045 kg
and Mass of planet B =m2 = 2.77× 1033 kg
Force of atraction = F = 6.59× 1033 N
the distance between their centre of mass will be R.
To find R we use Newton's Law of gravitational attraction,
F= Gm1m2 / R2
where G = Gravitational constant =6.67 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2
there fore ,
R2 = Gm1m2 / F
= 6.67 × 10-11× 5.44 × 1045 × 2.77× 1033 / 6.59× 1033
=100.50× 1067 / 6.59× 1033
R2 =15.25 × 1034
R = 15.25 × 1034
R = 3.91 × 1017 m
