Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

The magnitude of the gravitational force : <u>3.48.10²² N</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Gravity is a force that arises because of the attraction between objects with mass.

The magnitude of this attraction is proportional to the mass of the object.

The greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational force

Relationships can both be stated in

Newton's Gravity Law:

\rm F=G.\dfrac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

with F = gravitational force,

G = gravitational constant,

m1, m2 = mass of object,

r = distance between two objects.

From the available data:

m earth = 5.98.10²⁴ kg

m sun = 1.99.10³⁰ kg

r = 150 million km = 15.10⁷ km  = 15.10¹⁰ m

G = 6.67.10⁻¹¹N.m² / kg²

We put in the formula:

\rm F=6.67.10^{-11}.\dfrac{5.98.10^{24}.1.99.10^{30}}{(15.10^{10})^2}\\\\F=3.48.10^{22}\:N

So <em>The earth exerts 3.48.10²² N  of force on the sun, exactly the same amount of force the sun exerts on the earth</em>

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called
vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive  force  between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.
