Question

Find the Gravitational Potential at a point on the earth’s surface. Take mass of earth as 5.98
X 10 24 kg, its radius as 6.38 X 10 6 m and G = 6.67 X 10 – 11 Nm2
kg – 2
.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It's just formula substitution

-GM/R

Answer 2

Hey Dear,

● Answer -

G.P. = -6.25×10^19 V

◆ Explanation -

Gravitational potential at earth's surface is given by formula -

G.P. = -GM/R

Substituting values -

G.P. = -6.67×10^-11 × 6×10^24 ÷ 6.4×10^6

G.P. = -6.25×10^19 V

Therefore, gravitational potential at earth surface is -6.25×10^19 V.

Hope this helped you. Thanks for asking..
