Homework Statement
Find the attractive force between the Sun and Venus. The distance between their centers is 1.08x1011m.
Homework Equations
##F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}##
##m_{sun} = 1.98 * 10^{30}##
##m_{venus} = 4.83 * 10^{24}##
##G = 6.67 * 10^{-11}##
The Attempt at a Solution
##F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}##
##= \frac{(6.67)(1.98)(4.83)(10^{43})}{(1.12)(10^8)}##
##= \frac{(63.8)(10^{35})}{1.12}##
##= 57 * 10^{35} N##
Does this look okay?
