Two spherical balls of mass 10 kg each are placed 10 cm apart. Find the gravitational force of attraction between them.

उत्तर
The gravitational force of attraction between the balls is given as by
\[F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2}\]
\[\text { Given } : m_1 = m_2 = 10 kg \text { and } r = 10 cm = 0 . 10 m\]
\[\therefore F = \frac{6 . 67 \times {10}^{- 11} \times 10 \times 10}{\left( 0 . 1 \right)^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow F = 6 . 67 \times {10}^{- 7} N\]

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?
