Answer:
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Explanation:
The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is
dF = GmdM/L²
Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.
So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,
Thus, the horizontal component of the force is
dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.
L = √(a² + x²)
cosФ = x/L
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
dF' = GmdMx/L³
dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Integrating both sides we have
∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³ ∫dM = M
F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is D. The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.
According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.
Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.
Answer:
B = 62.9 N
Explanation:
This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the liquid
B = ρ g V
write the equilibrium equation
T + B -W = 0
B = W- T (1)
use the density to write the weight
ρ = m / V
m = ρ V
W = ρ g V
substitute in 1
B = m g -T
B = 
g V - T
To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³
calculate
B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4
B = 92.3 - 29.4
B = 62.9 N
