The mass of the planet Jupiter is $1.9 \times 10^{27} \, kg$ and that of the Sun is $1.99 \times 10^{30} \, kg$. The mean distance of the Sun from Jupiter is $7.8 \times 10^{11} \, m$. Calculate the gravitational force which the Sun exerts on Jupiter.

  • A
    $1.1 \times 10^{24} \, N$
  • B
    $2.2 \times 10^{23} \, N$
  • C
    $8.8 \times 10^{22} \, N$
  • D
    $4.4 \times 10^{23} \, N$

Explain by giving reasons:
$(i)$ If a stone held in our hands is released,it falls towards the earth.
$(ii)$ Two objects kept in a room do not move towards each other as per the universal law of gravitation.
