Question Number 27430 by tawa tawa last updated on 06/Jan/18

A 2000kg space capsule is traveling away from the earth, determine the  gravitational field strenght and gravitational force on the capsule due to the  earth when it is  (a) At a distance from the earth′s surface equal to the radius of the earth  (b) At a very large distance away from the earth (Take  g = 9.8Nkg^(−1)  on  earth surface)
