- An astronaut whose height is 1.50 m floats feet down in an orbiting space shuttle at ag distance r=√[3]6.67 × 106 m away from the centre of Earth. The magnitude of difference between the gravitational acceleration at her feet and at her head is found to be N × 10-5 ms -2. What is the value of N ? [mass of earth =6 × 1024 kg and .G=6.67 × 10-11 N m2 k g-2]
