At the north pole and equator, a 75 kg man would weigh? For this instance, the earth is a perfect sphere with complete uniform mass distribution.
Which scale reading is higher and by how much (north pole vs equator)?
How far from the earth must a body be along a line toward the sun so that the sun’s gravitational pull balances the earth’s? The sun is 9.3 × 107 miles away and its mass is 3.24 × 105 Me.
The Sun pulls on the Earth, and the Earth pulls on the Sun. However, the Earth is pulled
more and less depending on what part of the Earth you consider. If the distance between
the Earth and Sun is A, and the radius of the Earth is R then they are related by A =
23500 r. Give the ratio of the acceleration on the near and the far side of the Earth from
the Moon. Is the Sun responsible for the tides on Earth?
