Question

what is the magnitude of a gravitational force between the earth and a 1 kg object on its surface if mass of Earth is 6 into 10 ki power 24 kg and radius of earth is 6.4 into 10 ki power 6 metre​

Answer 1

${\frak{Given}} \begin{cases} & \text{Mass of body, m = 1 kg } \\ & \text{Mass of the earth, M = \sf 6 \times 10^{24} kg } \\ & \text{Radius of the earth, R = \sf 6.4 \times 10^6 m } \end{cases}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

☯ We have to find, Magnitude of gravitational force between the earth and surface of object.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\dag\;{\underline{\frak{We\;know\;that,}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Magnitude of the gravitational force (F) between the earth and the body can be given as,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\;{\boxed{\sf{\pink{F = \dfrac{GMm}{R^2}}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

where,

• F = Force between earth and body
• G = Gravitational constant
• M = Mass of earth
• m = Mass object
• R = Radius of earth

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\dag\;{\underline{\frak{Now,\;Putting\;values,}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 6 \times 10^{24} \times 1}{(6.4 \times 10^6)^2}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf \dfrac{6.67 \times 6 \times 10}{6.4 \times 6.4}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{9.8\;N\;(approx)}}}}}\;\bigstar$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\therefore$ The magnitude of gravitational force between the earth and the body is 9.8 N.

• The force of attraction between two bodies towards the centre of earth, is known as Gravitational force.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\;{\underline{\underline{\sf{\purple{Universal\;law\;of\;Gravitation\;:}}}}}$

• The gravitational force of attraction between any two particles/bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of these particles and is inversely proportional to the square of distance between particles.
