Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert
Kamila [148]

Answer:

2442.5 Nm

Explanation:

Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N

length of rope, l = 8.17 m

y = 0.524 m

h = 2.99 m

According to diagram

Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17

Sin θ = 0.3018

θ = 17.6°

So, torque about the base of the tree is

Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99

Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99

Torque = 2442.5 Nm

thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.
