Question

Given `F = (Gm_1m_2)/d`, how do you solve for `G`?

Answer 1

`G=(F*d)/((m1)(m2))`

Explanation:

`F=(G(m1)\(m2))/d`

`F*d=G(m1)\(m2)`

`(F*d)/((m1)(m2))=G`

Answer 2

`G = (Fd)/(m_1m_2)`

Explanation:

`F = (Gm_1m_2)/d`

Making `G` the subject of formula;

`F/1 = (Gm_1m_2)/d`

Cross multiplying..

`F xx d = Gm_1m_2 xx 1`

`Fd = Gm_1m_2`

Divide both sides by `m_1m_2`

`(Fd)/(m_1m_2) = (Gm_1m_2)/(m_1m_2)`

`(Fd)/(m_1m_2) = (Gcancel(m_1m_2))/cancel(m_1m_2)`

`(Fd)/(m_1m_2) = G`
