Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude, in N, of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.00 kg baby by a 130 kg father 0.300 m away at birth (assisting so he is close). N (b) Calculate the magnitude, in N, of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest to the Earth, some 6.29 x 10¹1 m away, showing it to be comparable to that of the father. The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 x 1027 kg. Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.) N

The weight of bodies my change somewhat from one location to another as a result of the variation of the gravitational acceleration g with elevation. At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation 'z' above sea level is given by; g = a – bz ,where a = 9.8066 and b = 3.32 × 10-6s².
