- Calculate the average density of the Earth.
- Derive how does the value of gravitational force F between two objects change when
- distance between them is reduced to half and
- mass of an object is increased four times.
- Suppose, the radius of Earth is R, then its volume will be
-
- Let gravitational force be F when the distance between them is R,
…(1)
Now, when the distance reduces to half,
…(2)
On dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get
- When the mass becomes 4 times,
- Let gravitational force be F when the distance between them is R,
