Perform the indicated calculations.
The distance (in m) from the Earth for which the gravitational force of the Earth on a spacecraft equals the gravitational force of the sun on it is found by evaluating 1.5 ×1011√m/M, where m and M are the masses of the Earth and sun, respectively. Find this distance for m = 5.98 ×1024 kg and M = 1.99 ×1030 kg.
