Explanation:
It is given that, An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid X and 481 km from the center of asteroid Y, along the straight line joining the centers of the asteroids. We need to find the ratio of their masses.
As they are in equilibrium, the force of gravity due to each other is same. So,

So, the ratio of masses X/Y is 0.0847
Answer:
The mass of the meter stick is 
Explanation:
Here since the meter stick is in equilibrium position its net torque and net force should be equal to zero
Since at the begging the meter stick is balanced at center of the meter stick that means its center of mass should be present at 
Now lets consider the later case where stick is balanced by two 5.12 g coins .
Here torque due to two coins = 
Torque due to weight of meter stick =
= 
where m = mass of the meter stick
Here
.
Upon equating we will be getting mass of the meter stick =
Answer:
no deflection
Explanation:
current is flowing from west to east. As the magnetic field of a long wire carrying current is circular, its direction will be north below the wire and south above the wire (according to the right hand rule). So, when the compass is placed underneath the wire, it will still point towards the north direction.
