Solution
9.770 N
Explanation:
Mass of earth = m1 = 6 × 1024 kg
Mass of the body = m2 = 1 kg
Radius of earth = r = 6.4 × 106 m
Universal gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10−11 Nm2 kg−2
Force = F = ?
F = `("G m"_1 "m"_2)/"r"^2=(6.67xx10^-11xx6xx10^24xx1)/(6.4xx10^6)^2`
= `(6.67xx6xx10^(-11-12+24))/(6.4xx6.4)`
F = `(6.67xx6xx10)/(6.4xx6.4)`
F = 9.770 N

The force of gravitation between two bodies of mass 1 kg each separated by a distance of 1 m in vacuum is ____________.
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).
