2. Calculate the gravitational force between two masses 30Kg and
10Kg when they are kept 500cm apart.
Solution : Here, given , Mass of one body (m ) = 30Kg
1
Mass of another body (m ) = 10Kg
2
Distance (d) = 500cm = 500/100cm=5m
Gravitational force(F) = ?
We have , F=
-10
2
-11
= (6.67x10 x30x10)/(5 ) = 8x10 N.
-10
Thus gravitational force existing between them is 8x10 N.
