If two objects are of mininum massand there is no distance between them then is the force of attraction...?

Question

...between them equal to the universal gravitational constant? So how many newtons would it be?

So basically if you don't consider the masses or the distance shouldn't the force equal to the gravitational constant?

first poster, then what is the constant? What does that number represent?

Answer 1

gravitational constant isn't a force.
if the two units are touching, the distance you would use would be the difference between the centers of mass. so for two 1m spheres touching the centers of mass are 1m apart. use that for the calculation.

if you then go onto two point masses with no radius and negligible mass you are entering the realm of atomic physics, eg a neutron touching a proton. Newtonian physics don't hold up at the atomic level.

Answer 2

It is not equal to the gravitation constant because no distance between the masses means r^2 = 0

So the force between them is infinite.

Hope that helped.
