Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Earth of mass M=6×10  

24

kg

Gravitational force F=3.5×10  

2

N

Distance between earth and sun r=1.5×10  

11

m

Mass of the sun = m

Now,

The gravitational force is

 F=  

r

=  

(1.5×10

6.67×10  

−11

×6×10

×m

 

m=  

6.67×10  

−11

×6×10

×1.5×10  

11

×1.5×10

m=0.1967×10  

11

kg

m=1.97×10  

10

kg

Hence, the mass of the sun is 1.97×10  

10

Kg
