Answer:
The mass of each object is 2kg and 3 kg.
Explanation:
Given that,
Gravitational force,[tex]F=1\times 10^{-8}\ N[/tex]
The distance between masses, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m
The total mass of the two objects, M + m = 5 kg
M = 5-m
The formula for the gravitational force is :
[tex]F=G\dfrac{Mm}{d^2}\\\\1\times 10^{-8}=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{(5-m)m}{(0.2)^2}\\\\\frac{1\times10^{-8}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}=\frac{(5-x)x}{(0.2)^{2}}\\\\\frac{1\times10^{-8}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}\cdot(0.2)^{2}\\\\5.99=(5-x)x\\\\x=2\ kg\ and\ 3 \ kg[/tex]
So, the mass of each object is 2kg and 3 kg.
