Answer: n=4
Explanation:
We have the following expression for the volume flow rate 
of a hypodermic needle:
(1)
Where the dimensions of each one is:
Volume flow rate 
Radius of the needle 
Length of the needle 
Pressures at opposite ends of the needle 
and 
Viscosity of the liquid 
We need to find the value of 
whicha has no dimensions, and in order to do this, we have to rewritte (1) with its dimensions:
(2)
We need the right side of the equation to be equal to the left side of the equation (in dimensions):
(3)
(4)
As we can see must be 4 if we want the exponent to be 3:
(5)
Finally:
(6)
Answer:
the <em>ratio F1/F2 = 1/2</em>
the <em>ratio a1/a2 = 1</em>
Explanation:
The force that both satellites experience is:
F1 = G M_e m1 / r² and
F2 = G M_e m2 / r²
where
- m1 is the mass of satellite 1
- m2 is the mass of satellite 2
- r is the orbital radius
- M_e is the mass of Earth
Therefore,
F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] / [G M_e m2 / r²]
F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] × [r² / G M_e m2]
F1/F2 = m1/m2
F1/F2 = 1000/2000
<em>F1/F2 = 1/2</em>
The other force that the two satellites experience is the centripetal force. Therefore,
F1c = m1 v² / r and
F2c = m2 v² / r
where
- m1 is the mass of satellite 1
- m2 is the mass of satellite 2
- v is the orbital velocity
- r is the orbital velocity
Thus,
a1 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a1 and
a2 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a2
Therefore,
F1c = m1 a1 r / r = m1 a1
F2c = m2 a2 r / r = m2 a2
In order for the satellites to stay in orbit, the gravitational force must equal the centripetal force. Thus,
F1 = F1c
G M_e m1 / r² = m1 a1
a1 = G M_e / r²
also
a2 = G M_e / r²
Thus,
a1/a2 = [G M_e / r²] / [G M_e / r²]
<em>a1/a2 = 1</em>
