उत्तर
Given:
Distance (r) = 1 m, mass (m1) = 75 kg, mass (m2) = 80 kg, gravitational constant (G) = 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2
To find:
Gravitational force (F)
F = `("Gm"_1"m"_2)/"r"^2` ...[From formula]
F = `(6.67 xx 10^-11 xx 75 xx 80)/1^2`
∴ F = 4.002 × 10-7 N
The gravitational force between Mahendra and Virat is 4.002 × 10-7 N.

Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun, given that the mass of the earth = 6 × 1024 kg and of the Sun = 2 × 1030 kg. The average distance between the two is 1.5 × 1011 m.
If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
