A2170 kg space station orbits earth at an altitude of 5.27 x 10^5 m. find the magnitude of the force with which the space station attracts earth. the mass and mean radius of earth are 5.98 x 10^24 kg and 6.37 x 10^6 m, respectively.

F = 18195.59 N or F = 18196 rounded up

Explanation:

force = GMm/d^2

G = 6.67x10^-11

M = 5.98x10^24 kg

m = 2170kg

d = 6370000 + 527000 = 6897000m

putting all values   (6.67x10^-11)(5.98x10^24)(2170)/(6897000^2) = 18195.59
