The mass of the Earth is 5.972×1024 kg

Its radius is 6.371×106 m

Calculate the intensity of gravity on the Earth.

HINT: g=mGr2

g stands for gravity

m stands for mass

G is a constant and is equal to 6.67×10-11 N•m2•kg-2

r stands for the radius

P.S.

Newton's Law of Gravitation: F=Gm1m2r2=m2gg=mGr2

SO

 

The gravitational force between two objects is        F=Gm1m2r2

but 

If you want the intensity of gravity for the Earth it is just     g=GmEr2

 

That actually does make sense I think :/

Sorry, that was the smallest cookie I had under the hand I'll try to find a smaller one.
