What is the force of gravity on a body of mass 150 kg lying on the surface of the earth? (Mass of earth = 6×10²⁴ kg; Radius of earth = 6.4× 10⁶ m; G = 6.7×10^-11 Nm²/kg²)
Force due to gravity, F = G * m * M/d²
= 6.67 * 10^-11 * 6 * 10²⁴ * 150/ (6.4 * 10⁶)²

F = 1472 N

What is the force of gravity on a body of mass 150 kg lying on the surface of the earth? (Mass of earth = 6&#xD7;10 24 kg; Radius of earth = 6.4&#xD7; 10 6 m; G = 6.7&#xD7;10 -11 Nm 2 /kg 2 )

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Force due to gravity, F = G * m * M/d²

= 6.67 * 10^-11 * 6 * 10²⁴ * 150/ (6.4 * 10⁶)²

F = 1472 N
