Answer:

[tex]F_{g}=7.4704\times10^{-5}[/tex]

Explanation:

Givens: d = 1.0 × [tex]10^{4}[/tex]  [tex]m_{1} = 4.0 x 10^{8}[/tex]  [tex]m_{2} = 2.8[/tex]×[tex]10^{5}[/tex]

Required: [tex]F_{g}=?[/tex]

Formula:  [tex]F_{g}= \frac{(6.67x10^{-11})(m_{1})(m_{2}) }{d^{2}}[/tex]    (6.67x10^-11  is the gravitational constant)

[tex]F_{g}=\frac{\left(6.67\cdot10^{-11}\right)\left(4.0\cdot10^{8}\right)\left(2.8\cdot10^{5}\right)}{\left(1.0\cdot10^{4}\right)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]F_{g}=7.4704\times10^{-5}[/tex]
