Calculaste the gravitational force due to the Earth on Mahendra if mass of Earth is `6xx10^(24)kg` Radius is `6.4xx10^(6)m,g=9.77m//s^(2)` and mass of Mahendra is 75 kg.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: Mass of Earth `(M)=6xx10^(24)kg`
Radius of Earth `(R)=6.4xx10^(6)m`
Mass of object `(m)=75kg`
Gravitational acceleration `(g)=9.77m//s^(2)`
To find : Force `F=?`
Forumula `F=(GMm)/(R^(2))`
Solution
`F=(6.67xx10^(-11)xx6xx10^(24)xx75)/(40.96xx10^(12))`
`=(9.77xx75)/1`
`=732.75N`
`F=733N`
The gravitational force is 733N
