A body weighs `64 N` on the surface of Earth. What is the gravitational force on it due to the earth, at a height equal to half the radius of Earth ? Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is `10 m s^(-2)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the gravitational force acting on a body at a height equal to half the radius of the Earth. We can use the formula for gravitational force at a distance from the center of the Earth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Weight of the body on the surface of the Earth, \( W = 64 \, \text{N} \) - Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - Height \( h = \frac{1}{2} R \), where \( R \) is the radius of the Earth. ...
