(A) Here, m1 = 6.0 kg
m2 = 110 g = 110/1000 = 0.110 kg
Distance between them, r = 15 cm = 0.15 m
Expression of the gravitational force between two masses m1 and m2 is given by -
F = G*m1*m2 / r^2
Where G is the universal gravitational constant.
So, F = (6.674 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 0.110) / 0.15^2 = 1.96 x 10^-9 N
(B) Weight of 110 g mass, W = m2*g = 0.110*9.8 = 1.078 N
Hence ratio of gravitational force to the weight of 110 g object = (1.96 x 10^-9) / 1.078 = 1.82 x 10^-9 (Answer)
