1) Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun where the mass of the  earth = 6 x 1024 kg and the mass of the Sun = 2 x 1030 kg. The average distance between the two is 1.5 x 1011 m.  Ans. The mass =6 x 1024 kg  The mass of…

In our day-to-day life, we see innumerable instances where gravity works with force. We know that in this universe there is a constant motion and force in the form of pushes and pulls. Among the many motions, there are four significant elementary forces, depending on which all sorts of phenomena are created. They are gravitational…
