Question

The mass of a planet is 8.03*10^26 kg and it is located at a distance of 6*10^14 m from the earth. Calculate the force of gravitation between them. show full calculation

Answer 1

Answer:

$F=8.88\times 10^{11}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a planet is $8.03\times 10^{26}\ kg$ and it is located at a distance of $6\times 10^{14}\ m$ from the Earth.

The mass of Earth is $5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

We need to find the force of gravitation between Earth and the planet. It is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{8.03\times 10^{26}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6\times 10^{14})^2}\\\\F=8.88\times 10^{11}\ N$

So, the force between them is $8.88\times 10^{11}\ N$.
