Answer:
2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.
5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).
6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.
Explanation:
The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:
1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.
2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.
3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.
4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

Explanation:
to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.
i)
The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.
We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.
For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.
ΣF = 0
Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.
ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.
ΣM = 0
![(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2815%2A9%29%20-%20%2818%2AW%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C135%20%3D%2018%2AW%5C%5CW%20%3D%207.5%20%5BN%5D)
Answer:
Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.
