On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).
Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.
Answer:
A) 5.2 x 10³ N
B) 8.8 x 10³ N
Explanation:
Part A)
= weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N
= Tension force in upward direction
= Drag force in upward direction = 1800 N
Force equation for the motion of craft is given as
- - = 0
7000 - 1800 - = 0
= 5200 N
= 5.2 x 10³ N
Part B)
= weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N
= Tension force in upward direction
= Drag force in downward direction = 1800 N
Force equation for the motion of craft is given as
- - = 0
- 7000 - 1800 = 0
= 8800 N
= 8.8 x 10³ N
