Answer:

7982 seconds

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance of asteroid, a = 4 AU = 5.984 * 10^8 m

Mass of sun, M = 1.9891 * 10^30 kg

Orbital period, P, is given as:

P² = (4π²a³) /(GM)

Where G = 6.6774 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs²

P² = [4 * π² * (5. 984 * 10^8)³]/(6.674 * 10^(-11) * 1.9891 * 10^30)

P² = (8.459 * 10^27)/(1.328 * 10^20)

P² = 6.372 * 10^7

=> P = 7982 seconds

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point
