41.- A body is dropped from a height of 6.37x10^6 m above the earth's surface. What is its initial acceleration? 42.- Two transoceanic ships, each of which has a mass of 40,000 metric tons, navigate a parallel route 100m away. What is the acceleration of one of the ships towards the other due to mutual gravitational attraction? Model the ships as particles.
