:
Let us consider that an artificial satellite is revolving around the earth in an orbit of radius, r. Then, it's acceleration will be , towards the centre of the earth.
Here, M is the mass of the earth. Suppose a body of mass m lies on an inside surface of the satellite.
Forces acting on this body will be
1 ). Gravitational pull of the earth =
2 ). Reaction Force, R of the surface.
Using Newton's 2nd Law,
Hence, the surface does not exert any type of force on the body and thus it's apparent weight is 0.
That's why man inside an artificial satellite feels weightlessness.
