Answer:
[tex]F = 5.4*10^{-8}\ N[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Represent the mass of the student with M and the mass of the slice of pizza with m
[tex]M = 92kg[/tex]
[tex]m = 550g[/tex]
[tex]d = 25cm[/tex]
Required
Determine the force of attraction
This is calculated as:
[tex]F = \frac{GMm}{d^2}[/tex]
Where G = gravitational constant
[tex]G = 6.67408 * 10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}[/tex]
Convert both mass to kilogram and distance to metre
[tex]m = 550g[/tex]
[tex]m = 550kg/1000[/tex]
[tex]m = 0.55kg[/tex]
[tex]d = 25cm[/tex]
[tex]d = 25m/100[/tex]
[tex]d = 0.25m[/tex]
Substitute these values in [tex]F = \frac{GMm}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = \frac{6.67408 * 10^{-11} * 92 * 0.55}{0.25^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = \frac{6.67408 * 92 * 0.55* 10^{-11} }{0.25^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = \frac{337.708448* 10^{-11} }{0.0625}[/tex]
[tex]F = 5403.335168* 10^{-11}[/tex]
[tex]F = 5.403335168* 10^3*10^{-11}[/tex]
[tex]F = 5.403335168*10^{3-11}[/tex]
[tex]F = 5.403335168*10^{-8}[/tex]
[tex]F = 5.4*10^{-8}\ N[/tex]
