Answer:
c. natural force or pull toward the earth
Explanation:
Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.
An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.
The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:
where:
m= mass of the body
g= acceleration due to gravity
The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:
where:
where
R = radius of the earth
To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,
Here,
v = Velocity
= Linear density (Mass per unit length)
T = Tension
Rearranging to find the Period we have that
As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to
Therefore the tension is 5.54N
