Question

the universal law of gravitation

the mass of the earth (m1) is supposed to be 'ten to the twenty fourth

Newton's universal law of gravitation is expressed in the form: mi m2 Here, F is a force measured in Newtons, which as we went over in class today are defined as meters kilograms seconds seconds G is the universal gravitational constant and is equal to 6.674 × 10-11N-( (distance) between the two masses. 2, and r is the seperation towards the Earth? As an exercise, set mi = me = 5.972 × 1024kg, and plug in a couple of different mass values for mass two, m2 = mobi. Let r be the radius of the earth, r-6, 371 x 106 m. see if you can understand why, on Earth, the above equation for F reduces simply to Fg = mg With this, tell me the the units of the g in the above line. 9.8 whats? This is for a maximum of 10 bonus points, and should be turned in next week.

Explanation / Answer

what i found out in this question is you just need the unit of g right.If you want me to solve anything,do let me know.

so the unit of g in this case will be

from graviational force unit of F is kg m/s^2

now the unit of mass is kg

as per your eqn

F=mg

kg m/s^2/(kg)=g

m/s^2=g

so the unit of g is m/s^2
