1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

$M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg$ (mass of the Earth)

$m=3.0 kg$ (mass of the box)

$r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N$

2) $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

$\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2$

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol $g$ .

We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .

Balboa Park in San Diego has an outdoor organ. When the air temperature increases, the fundamental frequency of one of the organ

musickatia [10]

The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will go up or increase.

When pressured air is forced into an organ pipe, it echoes at a particular pitch, generating the sound of the pipe organ. Each pipe has been adjusted to a particular pitch on the musical scale.

A musical instrument called an outdoor pipe organ is used to perform music. It produces some calming tones and has a really serene sound. The organ pipe produces the sound of the outdoor organ. The wavelength of the sound is also dependent on the length of the pipe. The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will grow as the speed of the sound increases as the ambient air temperature rises.

The correct option is (c).
