To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity from Newtonian theory for which it is necessary to

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational universal constant

M = Mass of Earth

m = mass of Object

x = Distance between center of mass of the objects.

From this equation we can observe that the Force is inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two objects. The greater the distance, the lower the force of gravity and vice versa.

F \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

If you want to increase the force of gravity, you need to reduce the distance of the two. Therefore the correct option is B. Talk to the distance between them.

If 50 km thick crust having an average density of 3.0 g/cm3 has a surface elevation of 2.5 km above sea level, what would you pr
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

To calculate the predicted surface elevation of a 50km thick crust above a surface of 2.5km we are given a density of 3 gram per centimeter cube.

The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.

Thus let the density of the material be Pm

50*3= 47.5*Pm

Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube

Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube

50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16

(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16

50-x=44.3

x=50-44.3= 5.7

How much water can be held by a cylindrical tank with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 30 feet? A. 2,260.8 cubic feet B. 13,5
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Volume, V = 13564.8  cubic feet

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the cylindrical tank, r = 12 feet

Height of the tank, h = 30 feet

We need to find the water that can be held by a cylindrical tank i.e. we need to find the volume of the tank. It is given by :

V=\pi\times r^2\times h

V=3.14\times (12)^2\times 30

V = 13564.8  cubic feet

So, the water held by the tank is 13564.8  cubic feet. Hence, this is the required solution.
