Given: Normal pull of gravity g = 9.8 m/s²; 

 g = 0.855 m/s²  (at a certain distance)

Universal gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the Earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Radius r = ?

g = GMe/r²

r = √GMe/g

r = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)/(0.855 m/s²)

r = 2.16 x 10⁷ m or 

r =  21,610 Km

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter
leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.
