4. The gravitational attractive force between two bodies with masses m 1 and m 2

Question

4. The gravitational attractive force between two bodies with masses m 1 and m 2 separated by a distance d is given by the following formula: where G is the universal gravitational constant: G = 6.673 × 10 -8 cm 3 /(g • sec 2 ) Write a function definition that takes arguments for the masses of two bodies and the dis- tance between them and returns the gravitational force between them. Since you will use the above formula, the gravitational force will be in dynes. One dyne equals a g • cm/sec 2 You should use a globally defined constant for the universal gravitational constant. Embed your function definition in a complete program that computes the gravitational force between two objects given suitable inputs. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

Explanation / Answer

#include #include using namespace std; const double G = 6.673 * pow(10.0, -8.0); double gravitational_force(double m1, double m2, double d); int main() { double mass1, mass2, distance; char ans; do { cout > mass1; cout > mass2; cout > distance; cout
