SOLUTION: The force between two objects known to be 100000km apart is 120000N. If the mass of one of the objects is 6 x 10^5kg, what is the mass of the other? F = G m^1 m^2 / d^2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You didn't put it here but
G=6.67%2A10%5E%28-11%29m%5E3kg%5E%28-1%29s%5E%28-2%29

F=%28Gm%5B1%5Dm%5B2%5D%29%2Fd%5E2
m%5B2%5D=%28Fd%5E2%29%2F%28Gm%5B1%5D%29
Make sure the units are consistent.
F is Newtons, masses are in kg, distance needs to be in meters.
d=100000%281000%29=1%2A10%5E8m

m%5B2%5D=%286.67%2A10%5E%28-11%29%2A1%2A10%5E16%29%2F%286%2A10%5E5%29
m%5B2%5D=1.11+kg
