Answer:

6.37*10^6 m

Explanation:

We know that,

g = GM/R²

values given to us

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Mass of the earth is= 6.4*10^24

G = 6.67*10^{-11}

implementing

9.8 = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24/R^2

9.8 = 40.02 * 10^13/ R^2

R^2 = 4002/98 * 10^12

R^2 = 40.83* 10^12

R= 6.37*10^6 m   (approximately)

The Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².

Given,

α= 15°, m₁ = 7kg

β= 65°, m₂ = 11 kg

Let, a be the acceleration and T is the tensions at the end it's the cord.

Let, the mass m₂ be coming down along the inclined plane along the inclined surface towards downward m₂g sin β and the tension in the upward direction,

Resultant force, m₂a=m₂g sin β -T

11a=((11) ×g sin 65°) -T  ...(i)

Now, considering the motion of m₁ which moves downwards, the forces are m₁g sinα, and T both are acting downwards.

Resultant force m₁a = m₁g sin α+T

7a =7g sin 15°+T  ...(ii)

Solving both the equations by adding them,

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°-T+T

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°=115.45

a=115.45/18=6.41 m/s²

Hence, the Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².

Explanation:

because the temperature has to be set, meaning it can't change, and it should be a different distance away than the first one.

Hope this helps! Stay safe!
