Thankyou very much for taking the time in showing me where i am going wrong SteamKing, that definitely makes more sense, I am going to go and do some more examples to make sure its sinked in whilst its still fresh! Thanks again

2nd point do you mean that both ^-2 cancel each other out leaving MNm and GNm?
Thanks, I keep telling myself i will get this!
