उत्तर
Mass of the earth (M) = 6 × 1024 kg
Mass of the Sun (m) = 2 × 1030 kg
G Universal constant = 6.67 × 1011 Nm2/kg2
The average distance between the two d = 1.5 × 1011 m.
F = `G xx (M_exxm_s)/r^2`
F = `(6.67 xx 10^-11 Nm^2 kg^-2xx (6 xx 10^24 xx 2 xx 10^30))/(1.5 xx 10^11m)^2`
F = 3.57 × 1022 N
Gravitational force between the earth and the sun = 3.57 × 1022 N

Mahendra and Virat are sitting at a distance of 1m from each other. Their masses are 75 kg and 80 kg respectively. What is the gravitational force between them? (G = 6.67 × 10−11 Nm2/kg2)
Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
If the distance between two objects is doubled, the gravitational force becomes ______.
