Question: Suppose two asteroids, with a mass m 1 = ( 6 . 8 7 5 x 1 0 ^ 7 ) kg and m 2

Suppose two asteroids, with a mass m1=(6.875x10^7) kg and m2=(3.83x10^7) kg, each carry a net negative charge Q. The asteroids are separated by (1.1499x10^11) m.Approximate both bodies as point masses and point charges.
What value of Q is required to balance the gravitational attraction between the two asteroids?
