Answer:
1.352 × 1018 newtons
Explanation:
The force of gravity between the two planets is given by:
[tex]F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}[/tex]
where
[tex]G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} Nm^2 kg^{-2}[/tex] is the gravitational constant
[tex]m_1 = 6.0\cdot 10^{24} kg[/tex] is the mass of the Earth
[tex]m_2 = 1.901 \cdot 10^{27} kg[/tex] is the mass of Jupiter
[tex]r=7.5\cdot 10^{11} m[/tex] is the distance between the two planets
Substituting all the numbers into the equation, we find:
[tex]F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(6.0\cdot 10^{24})(1.901\cdot 10^{27})}{(7.5\cdot 10^{11})^2}=1.352\cdot 10^{18} N[/tex]
