Determine the force sally experiences

Reference no: EM13718410

Problem: Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 18,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 70kg.

Part A: Determine the force Sally experiences due to the presence of the asteroid.

I need help to solve the above problem and for calculation purposes assume the two objects to be point masses.
