    How Much Gravitational Force Acts Between an Astronaut and a Space Shuttle?

    Homework Statement What is the approximate value of the gravitational force between a 61 kg astronaut and a 71000 kg space shuttle when they're 81 m apart? Homework Equations F = [G(Mm)/r^2] The Attempt at a Solution F = (6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2)(61 kg)(71,000 kg)÷ (84 m)2 = 48.4 nN...
