At the moment of a total eclipse, the moon lies along a line from the Earth to the sun. If your normal weight is 600 N, how much is your weight decreased by the combined pull of the sun and moon? MSUN = 2.0  1030 kg, rS-E = 1.5  108 km MMOON = 7.4  1022 kg, rM-E = 3.8  105 km

Question 2

Isaac Newton was able to estimate a value for G, the universal gravitational constant, from the following data: the radius of the Earth is about 6 400 km, the average density of rocks is about 5.50 g/cm3, and g = 9.80 m/s2 near the surface of the Earth. What value did Newton obtain for G?
