Question

The pull exerted by the Earth on a body of mass 1 kg is ___ N.

  1. 98
  2. 10
  3. 9.8
  4. 100

hintHint:

Use the formula for gravitational force.

The correct answer is: 9.8

The correct option is c)9.8.
From Newton's law of universal gravitation, we know that the gravitational force between objects is given by the following formula:
F equals fraction numerator G M m over denominator R squared end fraction
Mass of earth=M= 6.0×1024kg
m=1kg
R= 6.4 x 106
G= 6.67 x 10-11 Nm/kg
Substituting the values we get,
F=9.8 N

Gravitational force attracts the earth and the moon to each other. The earth attracts the moon with the following force:

The correct option is b)Same as that exerted by the moon.
Let m and M be the masses of the moon and the earth separated by a distance r.

Force of attraction that earth exert on moon=fraction numerator G M m over denominator r squared end fraction

Force of attraction that moon exert on earth=fraction numerator G M m over denominator r squared end fraction

This shows that they both exert same pressure on each other.
