Asatellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius r2 around a spherical planet of radius r1 made of a material with density rho. ( r2 is measured from the center of the planet, not its surface.) use g for the universal gravitational constant.

The gravitational force Fg exerted on the orbit by the planet is Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2

Explanation:

Gravitational Force Fg = GMm/r21

Where G is gravitational constant

M Mass of the planet, m mass of the orbit and r is the distance between the masses.

Since the circular orbit move around the planet, it means they do not touch each other.

The distance between two points on the circumference of the two massesb is given by d, while the distance from the radius of each mass to the circumferences are R1 and R2 from the question.

Total distance r= (R1 + d + R2)^2---2

Recall, density rho =

Mass M/Volume V

Hence, mass of planet = rho × V

But volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3

Therefore,

Mass M of planet = rho × 4/3πr3

=4/3πr3rho in kg

From equation 1 and 2

Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2
