To find the magnitude of the gravitational force between two protons in an iron nucleus, we can use Newton's law of gravitation, which states that the gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by the formula: \[ F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \] Where: - \( G \) is the gravitational constant, approximately \( 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \) ...
