Question
Answer the following:
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity. If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size, can he hope to detect gravity?
✓

Answer

Yes, Astronaut can hope to detect gravity if the size of th e spaceship is extremely large, then the magnitude of the gravity will become appreciable and hence the gravitational effect of the spaceship may been me measurable.
