What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and a 1 kg object on its surface? (Mass of the earth is 6×1024 kg and radius of the earth is 6.4×106 m.)
Given : Mass of earth M=6×1024 kg
Mass of object m=1 kg
Radius of earth R=6.4×106 m
Force of gravitation between them, F=GMmR2
F=6.67×10−11×(6×1024)×1(6.4×106)2=9.77 N
