Would the gravitational force of a paper plate the size of our solar system crush someone standing at the middle of the plate?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Well, calculate it by integration. Say, a paper plate weighs 10 gram per square meter. Do not forget that there is symmetry, so the force components parallel with the plate cancel. Calculate your integral.
