What is the gravitational force of attraction between sun and moon? |
|
Answer» Explanation: Solution :- We know, F = GM₁m₂/r² Let us take m₁ = 6 × 10²⁴ kg m₂ = 2 × 10³⁰ kg r = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m Substituting the VALUE, we get F = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 6 × 10²⁴ × 2 × 10³⁰/(1.5 × 10¹¹)² = 3.6 × 10²² N Thus, the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the SUN is very large. Additional Information :- MASS of the earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg Mass of the sun = 2 × 10³⁰ kg Distance between the sun and the earth = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² kg⁻² |
