... The force F of gravity between two objects of mass m and M, whose centres are a distance r apart, is given by Newton's famous equation: [pic], where G = 6.67(10-11 N m2 kg-2, and F is measured in Newtons. So, the force in orbit Fo is weaker than the force on the Earth's surface F0 by the ratio: [pic] where the radius of the Earth is 6,400 km, and the orbit is 1000 km above the Earth's surface. ... Energy Considerations Another way to see all this is to consider the energy of an object in orbit. ...
