According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation, the force F between two bodies with masses M1 and M2 is computed as

where d is the distance between the two bodies and k is a positive real number called the gravitational constant. The gravitational constant k is approximately equal to 6.67E-8 dyn · cm2/g2. Write an application that (1) accepts the mass for two bodies in grams and the distance between the two bodies in centimeters and (2) computes the force F. Use the standard input and output, and format the output appropriately. For your information, the force between the Earth and the Moon is 1.984E25 dyn. The mass of the earth is 5.983E27 g, the mass of the moon is 7.347E25 g, and the distance between the two is 3.844E10 cm.
