Question 803143: Newton's Law of Gravitation says that two objects with masses m_1 and m_2 attract each other with a force F that is jointly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance r between the objects. Newton discovered the constant of proportionality is 6.67 xx 10^(-11).
In a small laboratory experiment, two 300 kg masses are separated by 0.2 meters. What would the gravitational force between the objects be?

---------------
G = 6.67E-11
F = G*m1*m2/r^2
F = 6.67E-11*300*300/0.2^2
