Find the gravitational force between two stones, each of mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and separated by a distance $1 \mathrm{~m}$ in vacuum.

  • A
    0
  • B
    $6.675 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~N}$
  • C
    $6.675 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $2.67 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~N}$

Solution

Given, masses of two stones, $m=2 \mathrm{~kg}$ Separation, $d=1 \mathrm{~m}$ Since, gravitational force, $F=\frac{G m^2}{d^2}$ where, $G=6.67 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~kg}^{-2}$ $\therefore \quad F=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 2^2}{1^2}=2.67 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~N}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
