Question

What is the force of gravity between Jupiter and Saturn? The mass of Jupiter is 6.4 x 1024 kg. The mass of

Answer 1

Given :

The mass of Jupiter is 6.4 x 1024 kg. The mass of  Saturn is 5.7 x 1026 kg. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is 6.52 x 10 11 m.

To Find :

The force of gravity between Jupiter and Saturn .

Solution :

We know force of attraction between two bodies is given by :

$F = \dfrac{Gm_Jm_S}{\\d^2}$

Here, G = gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 .

Putting all these in given equation, we get :

$F=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.4\times10^{24}\times5.7\times10^{26}}{(6.52\times10^{11})^{2}}$

$F = 5.72\times 10^{17}\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.
