Assume a hole is drilled through the center of the Earth. It can be shown that an object of the mass m at a distance r from the center of the Earth is pulled toward the center only by the material in the shaded portion of Figure P13.73. Assume Earth has a uniform density ρ. Write down Newton's law of gravitation for an object at a distance r from the center of the Earth and show that the force on it is of the form of Hooke's law, F= -kr, with an effective force constant of k = (4/3) πρGm, where G is the gravitational constant.

The gravitational force F between two bodies of masses m1 and m2

 

where G is the gravitational constant (6.672 × 10−11 N m2 / kg2), m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies in kilograms, and r is the distance between the two bodies. Write a function to calculate the gravitational force between two bodies given their masses and the distance between them. Test your function by determining the force on an 800 kg satellite in orbit 38,000 km above the Earth. (The mass of the Earth is 6.98 × 1024 kg and the radius of the Earth is 6.371 × 106 m.)
