F(tidal)=G(2M1m2/r3)deltaR

where

G = 6.67x10-11

M1= Mass of heavier object

m2= mass of smaller object

r= distance between the center of objects 1 and 2

Mass of Jupiter = 1.90x1027

Mass of Io = 8.93x1022

r = 4.22x105

Edit: This answer doesn't answer the question, unfortunately. The question isn't about tidal forces. I'll answer it later if I have time.

OK, now here's the answer. I calculate the force to be about 0.71 newtons per kilogram.

The distance between Io and Jupiter varies so that's one reason I can't give an exact answer.

What is Jupiter's gravitational force on Io and Europa?

I calculate the answers to be about: For Io: 0.71 Newtons per kilogram. For Europa: 0.28 Newtons per kilogram. It's hard to give an exact answer because of the varying distances of the moons from Jupiter.


What is the strength of the tidal force acting on moon Io?

The tidal force acting on Jupiter's moon Io is extremely strong due to its proximity to Jupiter and the gravitational pull from the giant planet. This force causes significant internal heating within Io, leading to high volcanic activity, making it one of the most geologically active bodies in the solar system. The variation in gravitational pull as Io orbits Jupiter leads to stretching and flexing of its surface, contributing to its dynamic geology.


Is IO tidally locked with Jupiter?

Yes. But it is still experiencing strong tidal forces due to the eccentricity of the orbit around Jupiter (the orbit is very elliptic because of orbital resonance Io has with Ganymede and Europa (the other two satellites are closest to Io regular and periodic, so even they exert a small pull on Io, the influence over time is large )). Simply put, in one orbit, Io is twice close to and twice significantly further from Jupiter. That puts Io in different gravitational potential gradient (how the gravitational pull changes over distance ). When it is close to Jupiter the gravitational pull difference between the side facing Jupiter and the opposite side elongates Io toward Jupiter. When furthest away that gravitational pull difference is smaller, so the deformation is much smaller. That continuous squeezing (like a balloon) is the tide Io is experiencing and that's what generates heat and makes it so volcanic. Hope it helps.


What is the gravitational field strength of Io?

The gravitational field strength of Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, is approximately 1.796 m/s^2. This value is about 1/6th of Earth's gravitational field strength.


Is the gravitational pull stronger from Jupiter to the sun or Saturn to the sun?

The gravitational pull from Jupiter to the sun is stronger than the gravitational pull from Saturn to the sun. This is because Jupiter is more massive than Saturn, so it exerts a greater gravitational force over larger distances.

Why is lo the most volcanically active body in the solar system?

Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. The reason for this is tidal heating which is created by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and the other three Galilean moons.


What is Jupiter's gravitational force?

The gravitational force of Jupiter is thought to be 24.79 m/s2. That is 2.5 times the gravitational pull of Earth.


What is the cause of the energy inside io?

It arises from the enormous gravitational forces exerted by Jupiter which distort and pull at the surface of Io.


Why are there volcanoes on Jupiter's moons?

It is because Io is so close to Jupiter. This means "tidal forces" are caused on Io by Jupiter's gravitational field. These forces cause distortions inside Io, leading to volcanic activity. The moon Io is the most "volcanic" place in the solar system.


How does the moon Io Ganymede Europa and Callisto stay in orbit with Jupiter?

Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa stay in orbit with Jupiter cause Jupiter has a strong gravitational pull on celestial bodies around it.

Which planet has the biggest gravitational force?

Jupiter.


Where in the solar system are most active volcanoes found?

Most active volcanoes in the solar system are found on Jupiter's moon Io. Io's volcanic activity is due to its proximity to Jupiter, which causes intense gravitational forces that generate tidal heating within the moon's interior, leading to frequent volcanic eruptions.


Is gravitational force per mass greater on Jupiter?

Yes, the gravitational force per unit mass is greater on Jupiter compared to Earth. This is due to Jupiter's larger mass, which results in a stronger gravitational pull on objects.
