Solve for the variable "d" in the following equation.

[tex]F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Respuesta :

[tex]F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }[/tex]

F x [tex]d^{2}[/tex] = G[tex]m_{1}m_{2}[/tex]

[tex]d^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{F}[/tex]

d = ±[tex]\sqrt{\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{F} }[/tex]

Since "m1" and "m2" represent different masses, we can change them to different letters. This will make it easier to solve.

m1 = m

m2 = n

F = G*m1*m2/d^2 → F = Gmn/d^2

Steps to solve for d:

F = Gmn/d^2

~Multiply d^2 to both sides

d^2 * F = d^2 * Gmn/d^2

~Simplify

d^2 * F = Gmn

~Divide F to both sides

d^2*F/F= Gmn/F

~Simplify

d^2 = Gmn/F

~Take the square root of both sides

√d^2 = ±√Gmn/F

~Simplify

d = ±√Gmn/F

Since we are done solving for d, we can input "m1" and "m2" to replace "m" and "n".

d = ±√Gmn/F → d = ±√G*m1*m2/F

Therefore, the answer is [ d = ±√G*m1*m2/F ]

Best of Luck!
