The force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point from the center of Earth is 2.36 N
The force of attraction felt by a person at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.
Given, a 1 kg box located at a point 1.3 × 10⁷ m from the center of Earth. The Earth has the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s².
Force of gravity F = GMm/R²
where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg² and R is the distance between two masses.
The Mass of Earth M= 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
Substituting the values, we get
F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg² x 1kg x 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)/ ( 1.3 × 10⁷ m)²
F = 2.36 N
Therefore, the force of gravity on a 1–kilogram box located at a point from the center of Earth is 2.36 N
