A pear and a papaya are placed 12 meters apart from
each other. The pear is 0.005 kg and the papaya is 0.008
kg. Calculate the force of gravitation between them.

The force of gravitation between the pear and a papaya is equal to [tex]1.85 \times 10^{-17}\;Newton[/tex]

Given the following data:

  • Mass of pear = 0.005 kg
  • Mass of person = 0.008 kg
  • Radius = 12 meters

Scientific data:

  • Gravitational constant = [tex]6.67\times 10^{-11}[/tex]

To calculate the force of gravitation between the pear and a papaya, we would apply Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

Mathematically, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by this formula:

[tex]F = G\frac{M_1M_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where:

  • F is the gravitational force.
  • G is the gravitational constant.
  • M is the mass of objects.
  • r is the radius or distance between centers of the masses.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]F = 6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{(0.005 \times 0.008)}{12^2}\\\\F = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{0.00004 }{144}\\\\F = \frac{2.668 \times 10^{-15} }{144}\\\\F = 1.85 \times 10^{-17}\;Newton[/tex]
