#5b. Suppose that the two masses in the previous problem remains separated by a distance d meters, but the second mass is replaced by a mass that is 8.0 times smaller than the one it replaces. In terms of F, the original force on each of the masses, what is the magnitude of the force on the first mass now? Give your answer in the form "(a.bcd)F" N.
#5a. The magnitude of the gravitational force that a point mass exerts on another point mass when they are separated by a distance of d meters if F Newton. Now suppose that the second mass is moved so that the distance between them is now 0.68d meters. What is the magnitude of the new force that this second mass will experience at this new location? Give your answer in terms of F. For example, if the force is 7.85 times F then your answer would be (7.85)F. If the force is 0.55 times F then your answer would be (0.55)F. Give your answer rounded to 2 decimal places.
