Solution

The gravitational force between two objects can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²

where:

  • F is the gravitational force between the two objects,
  • G is the gravitational constant, which is approximately 6.674 * 10^-11 N(m/kg)²,
  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and
  • r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.

So, to calculate the gravitational force between two objects, you need to know their masses and the distance between them. You then multiply the masses together, divide by the square of the distance between them, and multiply by the gravitational constant.
