An astronaut of mass \(m\) is working on a satellite or biting the earth at a distance \(h\) from the earth's surface. The radius of the earth is \(R\), while its mass is \(M\). The gravitational pull \(F_G\) on the astronaut is
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \({F_G} = \frac{{GMm}}{{{{\left( {R + h} \right)}^2}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to universal law of Gravitation,
Gravitational force \(F = \frac{{GMm}}{{{{\left( {R + h} \right)}^2}}}\)
