Calculate the gravitational force between the Sun and Jupiter. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. The mass of Jupiter is 19000×1023 kg. The distance between them is 77.8×1010 m.

Answer 1

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 N m^2/Kg^2
Sun mass = 1.99 * 10^30 Kg
Jupiter mass = 1.89 * 10^27 Kg
d= 7.78 * 10^11 m

F = G Msun Mjup / d^2

=[6.67*1.99*1.89/60.5]10^[-11+30+27-22]

= .141 * 10^24

= 1.41 * 10^23 Newtons
