[NOTE: the numbers in this problem are unrealistic, but are more simple to work with than a more realistic situation would be.]
When two masses, Mass A and Mass B, are 1.0 m apart, they exert a gravitational force of 1 N on each other. If Mass B is replaced by Mass C which is 200 times greater than Mass B, what will be the gravitational force between Mass A and Mass C?
Remember the equation Fgrav = (mass 1 ) (mass 2)
distance2
(For this problem Mass A = 1 kg, Mass B = 1 kg, Mass C = 200 kg)
