Two lead spheres of `20 cm` and `2 cm` diametre respectively are planet with centres `100 cm` apart. Calculate the attraction between them, given the radius of the Earth as `6.37 xx 10^(8) cm` and its mean density as `5.53 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3)`. Speciffic gravity of lead `= 11.5`. If the lead spheres are replaced by bress sphere of the same radii, would the force of attraction be the same?
