Skid is floating in space 3 m from Mitch. Skid and his backpack have a combined mass 50 kg. Skid releases his 10 kg backpack, which reduces his mass. If the same gravitational force is to be maintained between them, what will be the new distance between Skid and Mitch.?
attached below is the working to the question asked. I equated the two formulas because of the statement "If the same gravitational force is to be maintained between them" mentioned in the question. The new distance between them is 2.68m
