<u>Answer: The model is described by :</u>
The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles.
Explanation :
According to universal gravitational law, the force acting in the universe between two objects is given by :
It is clear that the gravitational force depends directly on the product of masses and inversely on the square of the distance between them.
The given image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. The arrows in the image show the direction of the force. Gravitational field depends on the position of objects.
As we move closer to the earth, the force increases and hence the field increase.
So, the correct option is (D) " The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles ".
Answer:
The force is
Explanation:
The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image
From the question we are told that
The weight of the gate is
The vertical component of F is
From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have
Where is the weight of the gate evaluated as
