1.	A rocket is fired from the earth towards the sun. At what distance from the earth’s centre is the gravitational force on the rocket zero ? Mass of the sun= 2 xx 10^(30) kg.Mass of the earth = 6xx10^(24)kg. Neglect the effect of other planets etc. (orbittal radtus = 1.5 xx 10^(11) m ).
Answer» SOLUTION :`2.6 XX 10^(8)` m
