A body weighs on the surface of the Earth. If the mass of the Earth is , the radius of the Earth is and the universal gravitational constant is , calculate the acceleration produced in the body?
Step 1: Given data
Mass of the body,
Mass of the Earth,
Radius of the Earth,
Gravitational constant,
Step 2: Calculating the force acting upon the body and the Earth
Mutual force of attraction between the body and the Earth,
Step 3: Calculating the acceleration produced in the body
Acceleration produced in the body ,
Hence, the acceleration produced in the body is
