Understanding the Gravitational acceleration

The gravitational acceleration of a particle (of mass m) is due solely to the gravitational force acting on it. When the particle is at distance r from the center of a uniform, spherical body of mass M, the magnitude F of the gravitational force on the particle is given by,

F=Gm1m2r2

From Newton’s second law,

F=mag

Therefore, the gravitational acceleration is,

ag=GMr2

Using the equation of gravitational acceleration and the given condition of the radius, we can find the gravitational acceleration and conclude about its proportion with mass. It is easy to find the differential gravitational acceleration.

Formula:

Differential acceleration equation, dag=−2GMEr3dr …(¾±)

(a) Finding gravitational acceleration

We have been given,

Rh=2GMhc2r0=1.001Rhag=GMR2

So, substituting values of, Rhwe get

ag=GMh1.001Rh2=GMh1.00122GMhc2=c42.0022GMh=3×108 m/²õ44.008×6.67×10−11 Nâ‹…m2/kg2â‹…Mh=3.02×1043 â¶Ä‰k²µâ‹…m/s2/Mh

The value of acceleration is 3.02×1043 â¶Ä‰k²µâ‹…m/s2/Mh

As we see from the above result, we conclude thatag is inversely proportional to.Mh So, agincreases when,Mh decreases.

(c) Finding the value of gravitational acceleration

It is given that mass of black hole is 1.55×1012times the solar mass of1.99×1030 k²µ

Mh=1.55×10121.99×1030 k²µ=3.08×1042 â¶Ä‰k²µ

Substituting the value ofMhin equation (ii), we get

ag=3.02×1043Mh=3.02×1043 k²µâ‹…m/s23.08×1042 k²µ=9.8 m/²õ2

Hence, the acceleration is 9.8 m/²õ2

06

(d) Calculating the value of difference gravitational acceleration

Substituting the value in equation (i), we get

dag=−2GM2.002GMc23dr=−2c62.0023GM2dr

Since it is given in problem thatdr=1.70 m

dag=−2c62.0023GM21.70 m=−23.00×108 m/²õ62.00236.67×10−11 Nâ‹…m2/kg2×1.55×1012×1.99×1030 k²µ21.70 m=−0.732×10−14 m/²õ2

Magnitude of dagis0.732×10−14 m/²õ2

07

(e) Finding the effect of difference gravitational force

The effect of differential gravitational force is very negligible, as it can be clearly seen from the magnitude of difference acceleration that the value is very small.
