Question
        We all know the Earth exerts gravity on us, but other objects in the solar system also pull on us. In the following series of problems we will investigate how strong gravity is for a person standing on the surface of the Earth from various objects in the solar system. You can answer the following series of questions using Newton's Law of Gravity; use the units given and the Gravitational Constant, G = 6.67 ×10

        . Knowing this, what is the maximum force of gravity due to Jupiter on a 60.0  kg ASTR 110 student standing on the equator during Spring Break. DATA: Mass of Jupiter =

1.90×1027 kgusing the right formula: Fg = (G M1 M2 / d^2)

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

  • Mass of the students is m=60 kg
  • Mass of the Jupiter is M=1.90×1027 kg
  • Equitorial distance is r=6.30×1011 m

The expression for the force of gravity is given by:

F=GMmr2

Here, G is the gravitational constant.
