With related equation, explain all Newton's fundamental laws. (6 marks) 5) 85 kg man is standing on a Mercury surface. Calculate the man’s weight using: i) Newton’s law of universal gravitation where: Constant of gravitation = 6.673 x (10) m°/(kg.s?) Mass of Mercury = 3.227 x (107) kg Radius of the Mercury = 5000 x (10°) m Gravity of Mercury, gimercuy) = 3.47 m/s? (3 marks) ii) Equation weight (W) = mass (m) x gravity (g). (1 mark) ©) Rahman and Rahim have a mass of 78 kg and 65 kg, respectively. Given that the Constant of gravitation is 6.673 x (10%) m'v(kg.s*), calculate the force gravity acting between them if they are 650 mm apart. Compare this result with the weight of each person.
