10.16 The gravitational force of Earth acting on a point mass m2 is given by r F = -GMm231 (10.86) where G = 6.67 × 10-11 [N · m²/kg²], M = 5.972 × 1024 [kg] is the mass of Earth, r is the position vector for mass m2 with its origin at the center of Earth, and r = |r| is the Euclidean length of r. Calculate the flux of F through a spherical surface of radius equal to 10,000 [km] with its center at the Earth center. The flow direction is assumed to be outward from the Earth center to the outerspace.
