Gravitational force is 
GmM / r^2

Force is also m x a

When equating both of them, m cancels out, which leaves us with GM/r^2

Hope this helps

A chain has a mass of 10.0 kg. It is hanging freely, at rest, with one end connected to a ceiling hook.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Identify the object to be analyzed. For some systems in equilibrium, it may be necessary to consider more than one object. Identify all forces acting on the object. Identify the questions you need to answer. Identify the information given in the problem. In realistic problems, some key information may be implicit in the situation rather than provided explicitly.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

7. A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent
Rudiy27

Answer:

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Object distance u = 12 cm

a) Focal length = 20 cm

b) Focal length = 16 cm

Computation:

a. 1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/20 + 1/12

v = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

b.  1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/16 + 1/12

v = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)
