Answer:
1.352 × 1018 newtons
Explanation:
The force of gravity between the two planets is given by:
\(F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}\)
where
\(G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} Nm^2 kg^{-2}\) is the gravitational constant
\(m_1 = 6.0\cdot 10^{24} kg\) is the mass of the Earth
\(m_2 = 1.901 \cdot 10^{27} kg\) is the mass of Jupiter
\(r=7.5\cdot 10^{11} m\) is the distance between the two planets
Substituting all the numbers into the equation, we find:
\(F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(6.0\cdot 10^{24})(1.901\cdot 10^{27})}{(7.5\cdot 10^{11})^2}=1.352\cdot 10^{18} N\)
