The magnitude of the gravitational force that one object exerts on the other can be calculated using the formula:
F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant (6.67 x 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2), m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between their centers.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
F = (6.67 x 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2) * (13.0 kg * 13.0 kg) / (4.25 m)^2
F = 1.05 x 10^-8 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the gravitational force that one object exerts on the other is 1.05 x 10^-8 N.
The centers of two 13.0-kilogram objects are separated by 4.25 meters.
