Answer:
Explanation:
GIVEN:---
M1 = Mass of the Sun = 2 × 10^30 kg
M2 = Mass of the Earth = 6 × 10^24 kg
R = Average distance between the Earth and the Sun = 1.5 × 10^11 m
G = 6.7 × 10^−11 Nm^2 kg^−2
According to the universal law of gravitational ,
F = G× M1 × M2/ r^2
(Put the values of all quantities, we get)
=6.7×10^−11×2×10^30×6×10^24/(1.5×10^11)^2
= 3.57 × 10^22 N
Hence, the force of gravitation between the Earth and the Sun is
3.57 × 10^22 N
