Calculate the force of gravity acting on your friend of mass 60kg.Given mass of earth = `6xx10^(24)` kg and radius of Earth=`6.4xx10^(6)m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here,`m= 60kg, M=6xx10^(24)kg,R=6.4xx10^(6)m,F=?,G=6.67xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)//kg^(2)`
Thus, `F=(GMm)/(R^(2))=(6.67xx10^(11)xx6xx10^(24)xx60)/((6.4xx10^(6))^(2))=58.62N`
