Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation Equation

$$ F \enspace = G \enspace \frac{ m_1 \enspace m_2 }{ r^2 } $$

$ F $	-	force in newtons (N)
$ G $	-	Gravitational constant = 6.674 × 10^-11 m³ / kg / s²
$ m_1 $	-	mass 1 in kilograms (kg)
$ m_2 $	-	mass 2 in kilograms (kg)
$ r $	-	distance between centres of masses (m)

Find:

$ F $

= $ G \enspace \displaystyle{ \frac{ m_1 \enspace m_2 }{ r^2 } } $

= $ G \enspace \times \enspace $

$ \mathrm{kg} \enspace \times \enspace $ $ \mathrm{kg} $

$ ( $ $ \mathrm{m} $ $ ) $ $ \mathrm{^2} $

= $ \mathrm{N} \, (\mathrm{newtons}) $

= $ \mathrm{N} \, (\mathrm{newtons}) $ (to significant figures)

$ m_1 $

= $ \displaystyle{ \frac{ F \enspace r^2 }{ G \enspace m_2 } } $

$ \mathrm{N} \enspace \times \enspace $ $ ( $ $ \mathrm{m} $ $ ) $ $ \mathrm{^2} $

$ G \enspace \times \enspace $ $ \mathrm{kg} $

= $ \mathrm{kg} $

= $ \mathrm{kg} $ (to significant figures)

$ m_2 $

= $ \displaystyle{ \frac{ F \enspace r^2 }{ G \enspace m_2 } } $

$ \mathrm{N} \enspace \times \enspace $ $ ( $ $ \mathrm{m} $ $ ) $ $ \mathrm{^2} $

$ G \enspace \times \enspace $ $ \mathrm{kg} $

= $ \mathrm{kg} $

= $ \mathrm{kg} $ (to significant figures)

$ r $

= $ \displaystyle{ \sqrt{ \frac{G \enspace m_1 \enspace m_2}{F} } } $

$ ( $

$ G \, \times \, $ $ \mathrm{kg} $$ \, \times \, $ $ \mathrm{kg} $

$ \mathrm{N} $

$ ) $

^{$^{-2}$}

= $ \mathrm{m} $

= $ \mathrm{m} $ (to significant figures)
