    Gravitational force is calculated as follows:

    F = GMm/R^2, where F is the force of gravity; G is gravitational constant = 6.67408*10^-11 m^3/kg. s^2; M is first mass = 5.3*10^12 kg; m is the second mass = 3.5*10^8 kg; R is the distance between the two masses = 1,800 m.

    Substituting;

    F = (6.67408*10^-11) * (5.3*10^12) * (3.5*10^8) / 1,800^2 = 38,211.17 N ≈ 38.2 kN
