Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the gravitational force between two bodies at an infinite distance from each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Gravitational Force Formula The gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by Newton's law of gravitation: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot M_1 \cdot M_2}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant. ...
