the mass of a pencil sitting on your desk about .25 meters from you is .006 kg. the mass of a typical teenager or young adult is 55 kg. what is the attractive force between them? (fg = g (m1 m2)/d2 where g = 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2 )
show your work.
you!

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:  

Where:  

is the module of the force exerted between both bodies  

is the universal gravitation constant.  

and are the masses of the pencil and the teenager, respectively.

is the distance between both bodies

Solving for :

This is the force of gravitational attraction between the pencil and the teenager, which is very small in this case
