The earth (mass=6xx10^24 kg), revolves around the sun with angular velocity of 2xx10^(-7) rad/s in a circular orbit of radius 1.5xx10^8 km. What is the force exerted by the sun on the earth ?

Answer»

Solution :The GRAVITATIONAL force exerted by the sun of the earth is EQUAL to the CP force `(mv^2)/r =mrw^2`
`therefore F=mrw^2`
`6xx10^24xx1.5xx10^8xx10^3xx(2xx10^(-7))^2`
`3.6xx10^32` N.
