2(2)-2 SECTION C
This section has 2 case-study based questions (14 & 15). Each case is
followed by three sub-questions (a, b &c). Part a &b are compulsory.
However, an internalchoice is provided in section c.
14. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
According to Universal law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between two
particles/bodies is directly proportional to product of their masses and is
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. G is a
universal constant as it value remains the same throughout the universe.
14(a) What is the Sl unit of G?

14(b) How does the.force of gravitation between two objects change when the
distance between them is reduced to half? 1

14(c) Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the sun, given that
mass of the earth is 6 x 10" kg and of the sun is 2 x 10 kg. The average 2
