Austin Stein · Answer 1

4. 50 N

According to newton's third law, when an object A exerts a force on another object B, then object B also exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction on object A. In this case, as the astronaut exerts the force of 50 N on satellite, the satellite will also exert a force of 50 N on the astronaut. There will be no interference of weight in it since the force due to gravitational attraction acts between the astronaut and the earth.
