Answer:
F = 5.9 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of water, m₁ = 1000 kg
Mass of the Sun, [tex]m_2=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]
Distance between two bodies, [tex]r=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
We need to find the force of gravity between water and the Sun. The formula for the gravitational force between two bodies is given by :
[tex]F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{1000\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}\\\\F=5.89\ N[/tex]
or
F = 5.9 N
Hence, the correct option is (b).
