Answer:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench, in the western Pacific ocean, which is nearly 6,370 km

Explanation:

The bottom of the Mariana Trench is the deepest point ever found in our planet, and it is the closest to the earth´s center, rememeber that gravitational potential energy decreases as height increases, so the place where the change of gravitational potential energy would be the greatest, not meaning that that would be meaningful or feelable, would be the bottom of the Mariana Trench due to its closeness to the center of the Earth.

Answer:

the Mariana trench

Explanation:

To perform this calculation we must use the law of universal gravitation

          F = G m M / r²

Where the gravitational potential energy is immediately deducted

         U = ∫ F dr

         U = - G m M (1 / r - 1 / Ro)

In general the point of Ro is taken at infinity so that here the energy is zero

Therefore, for this problem we will use the equation

           U = - G m M / r

Let's calculate the distance, for the three requested points

-Ecuador

         R = 6370 km (1000 m / 1 km)

         R = 6.370 10 6 m

- Mariana Trench

This is 11 km deep

        R = 6370 -11 km = 6359 km

        R = 6.359 106 m

- The Chimborazo

      R = 6384 Km

      R = 6.384 10 6 m

We can appreciate that if we introduce these values ​​in the formula, the one that gives the greatest change would be the one with the least distance. Let's calculate it,

 

- Ecuator

      U = - (G mM) / (6.370 106)

      U = - (GmM) 1.5699 10-7 J

- mariana trench

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,359 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5725 10-7 J

- Chimborazo

      U = - (GmM) 1 / 6,384 106

      U = - (GmM) 1.5664 10 -7 J

Here we can see that the greatest value is that of the Mariana trench

The tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

<h3>Principle of moments</h3>

The Principle of Moments states that when a body is in equip, the sum of clockwise moment about a point is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment about the same point.

The formula for calculating moment is given below:

  • Moment = Force × perpendicular distance from the pivot

<h3>Calculating the tension in the chains</h3>

From the principle of moments:

Let tension in chain 1 be T1 and tension in chain 2 be T2.

T1 + T2 = 150 + 650 + 419

T1 + T2 =1219

Taking all distances from chain 1,

Sum of Moments = 0

419 × 0.5 + 150 × 0.85 + 650 × 0.9 = T2 × 1.7

T2 = 922/17

T2 = 542.35 N

Then, T1 = 1219 - 542.35

T1 = 676.65 N

Therefore, the tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.
