Problem 6P
In one hand you hold a 0.11-kg apple, in the other hand a 0.24-kg orange. The apple and orange are separated by 0.85 m. What is the magnitude of the force of gravity that (a) the orange exerts on the apple and (b) the apple exerts on the orange?
ANSWER:
Part (a)
Step 1 of 3:
You have an apple and an orange in your hands separated by a distance d. We are going to find the force of gravity that the orange exerts on the apple.
The mass of the apple ma = 0.11 kg
The mass of the orange mo = 0.24 kg
The gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
The distance between the apple and the orange d = 0.85 m
