The force of attraction F, between two bodies, varies directly as the product of their masses, \(m_1\) and m\(_2\) and inversely as the square of the distance, d, between them. Given that F = 20N, when m\(_1\) = 25kg, m\(_2\) = 10kg and d = 5m, find:
(I) an expression for F in terms of m\(_1\), m\(_2\) and d;
(ii) the distance, d for F = 30N, m\(_1\) = 7.5kg and m\(_2\) = 4kg
(b) Find the value of x in the diagram
