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

`F=8.88* 10^(11)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

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.

The mass of Earth is
`5.972* 10^(24)\ kg`

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

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)\\\\F=6.67* 10^(-11)* (8.03* 10^(26)* 5.972* 10^(24))/((6* 10^(14))^2)\\\\F=8.88* 10^(11)\ N`

So, the force between them is
`8.88* 10^(11)\ N`.
