Question

The formula for gravitational force between two objects is F = GmM/r^2 where m andM are the masses of the objects and r is the distance between them. Rearrange theformula to solve for M.

Answer 1

Given:

The formula for gravitational force between two objects

`F=(GmM)/(r^(^2))`

Required:

Solve for M.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation is as:

`\begin{gathered} F=(GmM)/(r^2) \\ Fr^2=GmM \\ M=(Fr^2)/(Gm) \end{gathered}`

Answer:

Fourth option is correct.
