Mithra is an unknown planet that has two moons, A and B , in circular orbits around it. The table summarizes the hypothetical data about these moons. What is the magnitude of the maximum gravitational force that Moon A exerts on Moon B? (G=6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2) \left( G = 6.67 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { kg } ^ { 2 } \right)


A) 1.6×1013 N1.6 \times 10 ^ { 13 } \mathrm {~N}
B) 4.4×1013 N4.4 \times 10 ^ { 13 } \mathrm {~N}
C) 2.0×1014 N2.0 \times 10 ^ { 14 } \mathrm {~N}
D) 1.0×1014 N1.0 \times 10 ^ { 14 } \mathrm {~N}
E) 4.0×1014 N4.0 \times 10 ^ { 14 } \mathrm {~N}
