The force of gravity between two objects can be calculated using the equation:

F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2

where:

F is the force of gravity

G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2)

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the distance between the centers of the two objects

Plugging in the values given:

m1 = 37,000,000 kg

m2 = 36,000,000 kg

r = 13 m

G = 6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2

Calculating the force of gravity:

F = (6.67430 × 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 * 37,000,000 kg * 36,000,000 kg) / (13 m)^2

F ≈ 9.804 N

Therefore, the force of gravity between the two objects is approximately 9.804 Newtons.
