Two Ultra-Large Crude super tankers, each having a mass of 5.5108kg are a distance of 2.4 km from each other.
(a) What is the force of gravitational attraction the tankers excert on each other?
Fg(2.4km)=
(b) What is the force of gravitational attraction to the earth experienced by a 69.0 g clementine when at the surface of the earth?
Fg(clementine)=
(c) What is the force of gravitational attraction the tankers excert on each other when they are right next to each other with their centers 77.0 m apart?
Fg(77.0m)=
(d) What would be the acceleration due to this force on one of the tankers if no other forces are present?
a=
(e) What is the mass of a person whose weight on earth is equal to the force of attraction between the tankers?
m=
