प्रश्न
Answer the following:
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity. If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size, can he hope to detect gravity?
उत्तर १
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth’s gravity (g).
उत्तर २
Yes. If the size of the spaceship is extremely large, then the gravitational effect of the spaceship may become measurable. The variation in g can also be detected.
