Question

a. A man of 100 kg mass is standing on the surface of the earth of mass 6 × 1024 kg and
radius 6400km. Calculate the gravitational force between them. [Ans: 977.05 N]

Answer 1

Answer:

m1=100kg

m2=6×10^24kg

r=6400km

G=6.6×10^-11

F=?

as we know that

F=G m1.m2/r²

F=6.6×10^-11×100×6×10^24/(6400)²

F=6.6×10^-11×6×10^26/4.096×10^7

F=6.6×10^-11×1.465×10^19

F=9.67×10^8N
