A \(90 \mathrm{~kg}\) body placed at \(2 \mathrm{R}\) distance from surface of earth experiences gravitational pull of _______. ( \(\mathrm{R}=\) Radius of earth, \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(100 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Value of \(g=g_5\left(1+\frac{h}{R}\right)^{-2}\)

\(=\mathrm{g}_5(1+2)^{-2}=\frac{\mathrm{g}_5}{9}\)

Here \(\mathrm{g}, \mathrm{g}\) gravitational acceleration at surface

\(\text { Force }=m g=90 \times \frac{g_5}{9}=100 \mathrm{~N}\)
