Determine the gravitational force that you exert on another person

AI Thread Summary
To determine the gravitational force exerted between two people 1.00 meter apart, both assumed to be point masses of 73.0 kg, the formula used is F=Gm1(m2)/r^2. The calculated force is approximately 3.5X10^-7 N. A clarification is made that this value can also be expressed as 3.6X10^-7 N when rounded to one decimal place. The solution appears to be correct based on the provided calculations. This discussion emphasizes the application of gravitational force equations in practical scenarios.

Hi everyone,

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Homework Statement


Determine the gravitational foce that you exert on another persona 1.00 m away. Assume that you and the other person are point masses of 73.0 kg each.


Homework Equations


F=Gm1(m2)/r^2


The Attempt at a Solution



F=(6.67X10^-11Nm^2/kg)(73.kg)(73.0kg)/1m=3.5X10^-7N

Thank you very much

Should be correct...although just remember that 3.55 \times 10^{-7}N=3.6 \times 10^{-7}N to 1 dp.
 
Thank you very much

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
