3. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between theearth and a 1 kg object on its surface? (Mass of the earth is6 x 10²⁴ kg and radius of the earth is 6.4 x 10⁶m.) |
Answer» Answer :There will be a gravitational force of APPROXIMATELY 9.77 Newton b/w earth and 1 kg OBJECT on earth's SURFACE. Explanation :Given,
To find,
so, Using formula for Gravitational force
[ where F is the gravitational force b/w two OBJECTS of masses M and m , G is the universal gravitational constant ] and R is the distance b/w those two objects ] Taking , G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻² Using formula for Gravitational force → F = G M m / R² → F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹) (6 × 10²⁴) (1) / (6.4 × 10⁶)² → F = [ 6.67 × 6 × 10¹³ ] / ( 6.4 × 6.4 × 10¹² ) → F = ( 40.02 × 10¹³ ) / ( 40.96 × 10¹² ) → F = 0.977 × 10 → F ≈ 9.77 N therefore,
