Question

In the solar system, the Sun is in the focus of the system for Sun-Earth binding system. Then the binding energy for the system will be [given that radius of the earth's orbit round the Sun is 1.5×1011m and mass of the earth =6×1024kg]

Moderate
Solution

 Binding energy =GMm/R

M= mass of the Sun =1030kg

m= mass of the earth =6×1024kg

R=1.5×1011m

Binding energy of the system is

6.67×1011×1030×6×10241.5×1011=2.7×1033J
