<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then:
F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2))
The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today!
Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size.
This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2.
Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by:
F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F
So:
F' = 8F
This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%!
You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>
Answer:
they help us allocate a particular place in case one needs to allocate or find a place or something
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface.
-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.
