Whats the force of attraction between a 15.0kg box and a 63.0kg person if they are 3.45 apart?
What are the units that follow 3.45?
meters? inches? light years?
Whatever they are, use Newton's universal law of gravity
Im sorry 3.45 meters
This tells you all about G and Newton's universal law:

thanks that wesite is very helpful
To calculate the force of attraction between two objects, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation. According to this law, the force of attraction (F) between two objects is given by the equation:
F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2
Where:
F is the force of attraction between the two objects,
G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/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, we have a 15.0kg box (m1) and a 63.0kg person (m2), with a distance of 3.45m (r) between them. Plugging these values into the equation, we can calculate the force of attraction.
F = (6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 * 15.0kg * 63.0kg) / (3.45m)^2
F = 9.472 × 10^-10 N
Therefore, the force of attraction between the 15.0kg box and the 63.0kg person is approximately 9.472 × 10^-10 Newtons.
