Two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of magnitude 1.02 10-8 N when separated by 19.7 cm. If the total mass of the two objects is 5.14 kg, what is the mass of each

The two masses are 3.39 Kg and 1.75 Kg

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is given by the formula;

F = Gm₁m₂/d²

where G is the gravitational force constant = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ Nm²Kg⁻²

m₁ = mass of first object; m₂ = mass of second object; d = distance of separation between the objects
