The gravitational force between two unit masses seprated by unit distance is?

Answer 1

#6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{unit#

The gravitational force #F_G# between two unit mass #M_1=1# & #M_2=1# separated by a unit distance #D=1# is given by Newton's Law of Gravitation as folows

#F_G=\frac{GM_1M_2}{D^2}#

#=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(1)(1)}{(1)^2}#

#=6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{unit#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
