Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on a 60 kg human standing on the surface of Venus. (The mass of Venus is 4.9multiply1024 kg and its radius is 6.1multiply106 m.)

Answer:

The gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human is 527 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the human, m₁ = 60 kg

mass of Venus, m₂ = 4.9 x 10²⁴ kg

gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

radius of the Venus, r = 6.1 x 10⁶ m

The gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human is calculated as;

[tex]F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(60)(4.9\times 10^{24})}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2} \\\\F = 527 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human is 527 N.
