The magnitude of the gravitational force on Mars is 3.6N
Newton's law of gravitation states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by:
F = G(m₁m₂)/r²
where m₁ and m₂ are mass, r is the distance, G is constant = 6.67 * 10⁻11 Nm²/kg² and F is the force.
Given m₁ = m₂ = 6.34 * 10²³, F = 3.43 x 10⁶, hence:
F = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹(6.34 * 10²³)² / ( 3.43 x 10⁶)²
F = 3.6N
Hence the magnitude of the gravitational force on Mars is 3.6N.
