The force of gravity on an astronaut is 600N at the Earth's surface. what is the force of gravity acting on him at a distance of 10 times the Earth's radius?
Homework Equations
F = Fm1m2/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
F = Gm1m2/r^2
F = 600/11r^2
F = 4.96N
11r because its measured from the surface of the earth
