Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left
Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of the massless beam;L = 4.00m
  • Distance of support from the left end; x = 3.00m
  • First mass; m1 = 31.3 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the left end( m₁ is attached to ); x_1 = ?
  • Second mass; m_2 = 61.7 kg
  • Distance of beam from  the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); x_1 = 0.273m

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2

we divide both sides by g

m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2

Next, we make x_1, the subject of the formula

x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]

We substitute in our given values

x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]

x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m

x_1 = 2.46m

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

How does vegetation in the soil affect the rate of erosion
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Plants slow down water as it flows over the land and this allows much of the rain to soak into the ground. Plant roots hold the soil in position and prevent it from being blown or washed away. Plants break the impact of a raindrop before it hits the soil, reducing the soil's ability to erode.
