Question

the sun is more massive than the moon but the sun is fartherfrom the earth which one exerts a greater gravitational force on aperson standing on the earth give the answer by determining theratio Fsun / Fmoon of magnitudes of gravitational forces The answer on the back of the book for 35P is 178 N the sun is more massive than the moon but the sun is fartherfrom the earth which one exerts a greater gravitational force on aperson standing on the earth give the answer by determining theratio Fsun / Fmoon of magnitudes of gravitational forces The answer on the back of the book for 35P is 178 N

Explanation / Answer

   taking the ratio we get that    Fsun / Fmoon = (GMsun m / rsun-earth2) / (GMmoon m /rmoon-earth2)                        = (Msun / Mmoon) (rmoon-earth /rsun-earth)2                        = ......                        = ......
