Calculate the force wilth which you attract the earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A man is standing on the surface of earth.
The force acting on the man = mg….(i).
Let m= mass of the man = 50 kg, and
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth
`= 10 m/s^2`
`:. W=mg = 50xx10`N
`= 500 N =` Force acting on the man
So, the man is also attracting the earth with a force of 500 N.
