JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

The change in the value of acceleration of earth towards sun, when the moon comes from the position of solar eclipse to the position on the other side of earth in line with sun is: (mass of the moon \(= 7.36 \times 10^{22}\,kg,\) radius of the moon's orbit \(= 3 .8 \times 10^8\,m\) ).

  1. A \(6.73\times 10^{-5}\,m/s^2\)
  2. B \(6.73\times 10^{-3}\,m/s^2\)
  3. C \(6.73\times 10^{-2}\,m/s^2\)
  4. D \(6.73\times 10^{-4}\,m/s^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6.73\times 10^{-5}\,m/s^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

During solar eclipse, the sun and moon will be on the same side of the earth and during lunar eclipse, the moon and the sun will be exactly on the earth’s opposite sides. So the gravitational force acting on earth due to sun will add up with the gravitational force acting…
