There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
F_f = \mu N
where \mu is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
F=\mu N
since we know that F=300 N and \mu=0.3, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is \mu=0.03 due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N

Suppose an asteroid had an orbit with a semimajor axis of 4 au. how long would it take for it to orbit once around the sun?
Nitella [24]

It would take <u> 8 years </u> for the asteroid to orbit once around the sun.

What is a semimajor axis?

  • In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis of a hyperbola is, depending on the convention, plus or minus one half of the distance between the two branches.
  • Thus it is the distance from the center to either vertex of the hyperbola.
  • In astronomy, the semi-major axis is one of the most important orbital elements of an orbit, along with its orbital period.
  • For Solar System objects, the semi-major axis is related to the period of the orbit by Kepler's third law.
