Which is stronger, the gravitational force of Jupiter on you, or the gravitation

Question

Which is stronger, the gravitational force of Jupiter on you, or the gravitational force of a friend sitting next to you? The mass of Jupiter is a well-measured astronomical value-please look it up. For all other masses and distances. You can use any REALISTIC values, given the context of the question. First, before showing your calculations, list your values here, including units and significant figures: mass of you: distance between centers of you and Jupiter: mass of friend: distance between centers of you and friend: Then, use calculations to answer the initial question.

Explanation / Answer

let,

mass of the jupitor, m1=1.898*10^27 kg

mass of you(m2):60kg,

distance between centers of you and Jupiter, r1=6.3*10^11 m

mass of friend(m3):60kg,

distance between centers of you and Jupiter is r2=1m

now,

a)

force between jupitor and you:

F12=G*m1*m2/(r1^2)

F12=6.674*10^-11*1.898*10^27*60/(6.3*10^11)^2

F12=1.915*10^-7 N

and

b)

force between you and your friend:

F23=G*m2*m3/(r2^2)

F23=6.674*10^-11*60*60/(1)^2

F23=2.403*10^-7 N

threrefore,

from above two result F12 is greater than F34
