To calculate the gravitational force between the two metal balls, you can use Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
F is the gravitational force,
G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 × 10^-11 N·(m/kg)^2),
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and
r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
In this case, m1 = 6.0 kg, m2 = 8.0 kg, and r = 2.0 meters.
To calculate the gravitational force, you need to plug these values into the equation. Remember to square the distance (r) before dividing by it.
F = (6.67430 × 10^-11 N·(m/kg)^2) * (6.0 kg * 8.0 kg) / (2.0 meters)^2
Simplifying the equation gives the final result for the gravitational force between the two metal balls.
