- Homework Statement
- Two ocean liners, each with a mass of 42,000 metric tons, are moving on parallel courses, 92 m apart. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of one of the liners toward the other due to their mutual gravitational attraction? Treat the ships as particles.

- Relevant Equations
- F=GMm/r^2
F=ma
This is what I've done so far:
