    The gravitational force is a force that attracts any object with mass. We use the equation as follows:

    F = Gm1m2 / r^2

    where G is the gravitational constant that is equal to 6.67408 * 10-11 m 3 kg - 1 s - 2, m is the mass and r is the radius.

    2.5x10^-2 = 6.67408 * 10^-11 (3) m2 / 6300^2'

    m2 = 4.96 x 10^15 kg
