Answer:
19.613 N
0.10197 kg
Explanation:
m = Mass of object = 2 kg
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8065 m/s²
Force
[tex]F=m\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\F=ma[/tex]
where
G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
M = Mass of Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg
r = Radius of Earth = 6.3781×10⁶ m
⇒F = ma
⇒F = 2×9.8065
⇒F = 19.613 N
∴ Force needed to hold a mass at rest is 19.613 N.
Force = F = 1 N
F = ma
[tex]1=m9.8065\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{1}{9.8065}\\\Rightarrow m=0.10197\ kg[/tex]
∴ 1 N can support 0.10197 kg of mass
