Answer :

If the astronauts allows gravity to bring them together, then the gravitational force between them is 1.39 x 10⁻⁹ N.

We know that there is gravitational force between two bodies which have mass,

This gravitational force is given by,

F = GM₁M₂/R²

Where,

G is the gravitational constant,

M₁ is the mass of the girl,

M₂ s the mass of the boy,

R is the distance between them,

The value of Gravitational constant is 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg⁻².

So, putting all the values,

F = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹(62)(76)/(15)²

We get,

F = 1.39 x 10⁻⁹ N.

So, both of them will be attracted towards each other with a force of 1.39 x 10⁻⁹ N.
