Answer:
The value is [tex]F = 1.10 *10^{-8} \ N [/tex]
Explanation:
Generally the gravitational force between the two particles is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = \frac{G * m_1 * m_2 }{r^2}[/tex]
Here G is the gravitational constant with value [tex]6.67300 * 10^{-11} m^3. kg^{-1} s^{-2}[/tex]
substituting [tex] 8,000 g = 8kg [/tex] for [tex] m_1 [/tex] , 12 kg for [tex] m_2 [/tex] and [tex] 2.5 ft = 0.762 \ m [/tex] for r
[tex]F = \frac{6.67300 * 10^{-11} * 8 * 12 }{0.762 ^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = 1.10 *10^{-8} \ N [/tex]
