When the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity doubles as well.

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg --- (1)

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

F = GmM/R²  --- (2)

where;

  • M is mass of Earth
  • R is radius of Earth

Solve (1) and (2)

mg =  GmM/R²

g = GM/R²

when the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity becomes;

g' = G(2M)/R²

g' = 2(GM/R²)

g' = 2g

Thus, when the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity doubles as well.

How much power is required to lift a 60 kg bed to the top of a 3 meter flight of stairs in 10 seconds?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

176.58Watts

Explanation:

Power= work done /time

Where mass(m)=60kg

Height (h) =3m

Time(s)=10s

Force of gravity = 9.81m/s^2

Power=mgh/t

Power= (60kg) * (9.81m/s^2) * (3m)/10s

Power= 176.58Watts

ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.
