[QUOTE="astru025, post: 4512116, member: 488663"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Image attached. This figure shows the force on a 0.1-kilogram mass at various distances from Earth. Notice that the force decreases as the square of the distance. Now, consider satellites A and B, both circling Earth. If A has ten times the mass of B but B is 1/10 of the distance to the center of Earth as is A, what is the gravitational force on A relative to that of B due to Earth? 1/100 times as much 100 times as much 1/10 the amount 10 times as much the two are equal [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] G=m_1*m_2/ r^2 [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I used my textbook and numerous notes and could not figure out a wAy to attempt this problem. Any pointers would be great. [/QUOTE]
