asked • 10/25/21The gravitational fields due to an object of mass m at distances r1 and r2 from the center of the object are 18.6 m/s2 and 7.00 m/s2 respectively.
If a third distance r3 = 6r1,
what will be the gravitational field at this third location?

g=GM/R2
g1=18.6m/s2
g2=7.00m/s2
R3=6R1
g1=GM/R12=18.6m/s2
g3=GM/R32
Substitute R3 in terms of R1
g3=g1/62=18.6m/s2/62=18.6m/s2/36=0.52m/s2
Answer: g3=0.52m/s2
