| Unbeknownst to the rest of Earth, Carver's space program is ultimately more advanced than anyone could imagine and he has established a space station that is in orbit around Pluto. In order to complete some important repairs of the space station, you have been tasked with finding out the acceleration due to gravity on the space station at the furthest point away from Pluto on the space station. The radius of the space station is 238 meters and its mass is 5 * 10^15 kg. The space station is a radius of 6.2 * 10^6 meters from Pluto. Find the acceleration due to gravity at the furthest point from Pluto on the space station. | Unbeknownst to the rest of Earth, Carver's space program is ultimately more advanced than anyone could imagine and he has established a space station that is in orbit around Pluto.
