Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto? Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis. A. 289 km; inside B. 781 km; inside C. 2130 km; outside D. 5910 km; outside

Kramer goes bowling and decides to employ the force of gravity to "pick up a spare." He rolls the 6.50 kg bowling ball very slowly so that it comes to rest a center-to-center distance of 0.245 m from the one remaining 2.00 kg bowling pin. Treat both the ball and the pin as point objects, and determine the magnitude of the force of gravity ?⃗ grav between them.
