Some have called it a 'wild west' but I would prefer to use the term 'ethical vacuum'. ... The point I am making is a more modest one, namely that the internet does not claim to operate by express ethical standards, so that bloggers and others may, if they choose, act with impunity.
The magnet needs to be held above the coils of wires
Your answer would be the; <u>NET</u> force on the object. Refer to Newton's Laws of Forces and Motion.
Hope that helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
Answer:
rm = 38280860.6[m]
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.
In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m
![r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r_%7Be%7D%20%3D%20distance%20earth%20to%20the%20astronaut%20%5Bm%5D.%5C%5Cr_%7Bm%7D%20%3D%20distance%20moon%20to%20the%20astronaut%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5Cr_%7Bt%7D%20%3D%20total%20distance%20%3D%203.84%2A10%5E8%5Bm%5D)
Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.
Mathematically this equals:

![F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a} }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Bm%7D%20%3DG%2A%5Cfrac%7Bm_%7Bm%7D%2Am_%7Ba%7D%20%20%7D%7Br_%7Bm%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5CG%20%3D%20gravity%20constant%20%3D%206.67%2A10%5E%7B-11%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7BN%2Am%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7Bkg%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5Cm_%7Be%7D%3D%20earth%27s%20mass%20%3D%205.98%2A10%5E%7B24%7D%5Bkg%5D%5C%5C%20m_%7Ba%7D%3D%20astronaut%20mass%20%3D%20100%5Bkg%5D%5C%5Cm_%7Bm%7D%3D%20moon%27s%20mass%20%3D%207.36%2A10%5E%7B22%7D%5Bkg%5D)
When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.
![r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}\\ where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) } }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r_%7Bm1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%2B-%20%5Csqrt%7Bb%5E%7B2%7D-4%2Aa%2Ac%20%7D%20%20%7D%7B2%2Aa%7D%5C%5C%20%20where%3A%5C%5Ca%3D80.25%5C%5Cb%3D768%2A10%5E%7B6%7D%20%5C%5Cc%20%3D%20-1.47%2A10%5E%7B17%7D%20%5C%5Creplacing%3A%5C%5Cr_%7Bm1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-768%2A10%5E%7B6%7D%2B-%20%5Csqrt%7B%28768%2A10%5E%7B6%7D%29%5E%7B2%7D-4%2A80.25%2A%28-1.47%2A10%5E%7B17%7D%29%20%7D%20%20%7D%7B2%2A80.25%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cr_%7Bm1%7D%3D%2038280860.6%5Bm%5D%20%5C%5Cr_%7Bm2%7D%3D-2.97%2A10%5E%7B17%7D%20%5Bm%5D)
We work with positive value
rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]
