Answer:
F = 2.68 x 10²³ N
Explanation:
The force between lo and Jupiter is given by Newton's Gravitational Formula:
[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} \\[/tex]
where,
F = Force = ?
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
m₁ = mass of lo = 8.932 x 10²² kg
m₂ = mass of Jupiter = 1.9 x 10²⁷ kg
r = distance between lo and Jupiter = 4.22 x 10⁸ m
Therefore,
[tex]F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(8.932\ x\ 10^{22}\ kg)(1.9\ x\ 10^{27}\ kg)}{(4.22\ x\ 10^8\ m)^2}[/tex]
F = 2.68 x 10²³ N
