Answer:
F = 3.32 x 10⁻⁶ N
Explanation:
The force of attraction between two masses is given by Newton's Law of Gravitation, as follows:
F = Gm₁m₂/r²
where,
F = Force between Romeo and Juliet = ?
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
m₁ = mass of Romeo = 68 kg
m₂ = mass of space station = 4.58 x 10⁵ kg
r = distance = 25 m
Therefore,
F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(68 kg)(4.58 x 10⁵ kg)/(25 m)²
F = 3.32 x 10⁻⁶ N
