Answer:
The force of Earth's gravity is 327954 N
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the space craft = 1350 kg
Mass of the earth = 6*10^ 24
Distance = 1.28 * 10 ^ 6
To Find:
The force of Earth's gravity = ?
Solution:
The force of attraction between a planet and an object kept in space is given by the expression
[tex]F =\frac{GMm}{R^2}[/tex]
where
M is the mass of the earth
m is the mass of the space craft
R is the distance between the earth and the space craft and
G is the gravitational constant
On substituting the values
[tex]F =\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(6\times10^ {24})(1350)}{(1.28\times 10^6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]F =\frac{(54027\times 10^{13})}{(1.28\times 10^6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]F =\frac{(54027\times 10^{13})}{(1.6384\times 10^{12})}[/tex]
F = 327954 N
