# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the formula for gravitational force
The formula for gravitational force is $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $G = 6.67\times10^{- 11}\space Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses, and $r$ is the distance between them.
## Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula
Given $m_1 = 5\times10^{5}\space kg$, $m_2 = 5\times10^{5}\space kg$, $r = 1\space m$, and $G = 6.67\times10^{-11}\space Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$.
$$
\begin{align*}
F&=(6.67\times 10^{-11})\frac{(5\times 10^{5})(5\times 10^{5})}{1^{2}}\
&=(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times(25\times 10^{10})\
&=(6.67\times25)\times(10^{-11 + 10})\
&=166.75\times10^{-1}\
& = 16.675
\end{align*}
$$
