Detailed Solution

The gravitational force between the two objects is given by:

F=GMmr2
Where M and m are the masses of the objects and r is the distance between them.
G is the universal gravitational constant which has the value of 6.67X 10-11 Nm2/kg2. It is constant irrespective of the system or the masses and distance involved. It does not change its value from place to place and is constant universally.
