To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.
PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

Where,
G = Gravitational Universal Constant
d = Distance
M = Mass
Radius earth center of mass
PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,



PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

Replacing



Answer:
- 256 lbs
Explanation:
The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero
; Then:
internal axial load at point D = Δ P
= -(P₂ - P₁)
= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)
= - 256 lbs
Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
