Let's say that each book has a mass of 5 kilograms (it weighs about 11 pounds),

and the centers of the two books are 0.1 meter (about 4 inches) apart.

The gravitational force of attraction between them is

(6.67 x 10-11) x (5) x (5)/ 0.1 = 0.000000016675 newton = about 0.00000006 ounce .

That's why.

Gravity is actually quite a weak force. Even two concrete-mixer trucks parked next

to each other feel only a minute gravitational force toward each other, and it takes

the whole Earth to attract one of those books with a force of a few pounds.

What happens to the center of gravity of a person if he carries all his books using the right arm only?

The center of gravity of the person shifts towards the right side of the body as the weight of the books is being held by the right arm. This can cause the person to lean towards that side to maintain balance. Over time, this can lead to muscle strain or imbalance.


How do the forces of gravity and magnetism act differently on an object compared to the way that the force of a person lifting acts on a pile of book?

Even with the theory of relativity we still do not fully understand how the forces of gravity work and thus can't make a comparison. As for magnetism vs push there really is no difference. Of course if you're writing a school assignment you'd be expected to write something of a very primitive understanding. e.g. attraction and repulsion vs friction.


Two 3 kg physical science textbooks on a book shelf are separated by 0.15 m What is the force of gravitational attraction between the books?

The force of gravitational attraction between the two textbooks is approximately 0.0175 N. This can be calculated using the formula F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the textbooks, and r is the separation distance.


What is the force acting on a bookshelf with a bunch of books on top?

The force acting on the bookshelf with books on top is the force of gravity pulling the books downward. This force is exerted on the bookshelf through the books and causes a downward pressure on the bookshelf. It is important to ensure that the bookshelf is sturdy enough to support the weight of the books to prevent it from collapsing.

Do you have to buy your own books separately for each class?

If you are in high school or lower, no - the books are included in the cost of your school, which is usually already paid unless you go to a private school. In college, you will need to buy books for each class - some classes have only one textbook and others have several books that you will need to buy. You can get used books at a lower cost, but they will be marked and possibly damaged.
