Astrology, the unlikely and rather imprecise exercise of divination, makes a big deal of the position of the planets on the day of one's birth. The only force of significance a planet can plausibly exert on any of us is the gravitational force. Include units as appropriate. (a) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on a newborn baby of mass 4.20 kg due to, say, the large planet of Jupiter, of mass 1.9e + 27 kg, if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.29e + 11 m away? Fg = In part (a) we found the magnitude of the gravitational force on a newborn baby of mass 4.20 kg due to the large planet of Jupiter. (b) Meanwhile, what is the range of the magnitude of the gravitational force (note that range = largest value smallest value) on the same baby due only to the variation of g on Earth? (Use for this the largest and smallest g values given in section 2.7 of Urone).
