Answer:
Explanation:
Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass 2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg
Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²
For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law
I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂ , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .
I₁ / I₂ = ω₂ / ω₁
I₁ / I₂ = T₁ / T₂ , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .
T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁
(2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²
1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M
= 1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴
= 1 + .0000064
T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)
= 24 hours + .55 s
change in length of the day = .55 s .
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,
Here,
V = Voltage
I = Current
While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,
Applying Ohm's law
Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 
The answer would be 981 newtons or 220.46 pounds.
