Answer:
a) W = 25.5 lbf
b) W = 150 lbf
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm
local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2
a) weight on spring scale
it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body
W = mg
b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity
thus W= 150 lbf
Answer:
i)ω=3600 rad/s
ii)V=7059.44 m/s
iii)F=1245.8 N
Explanation:
i)
We know that angular speed given as
We know that for one revolution
θ=2π
Given that time t= 2 hr
So
ω=θ/t
ω=2π/2 = π rad/hr
ω=3600 rad/s
ii)
Average speed V
Where M is the mass of earth.
R is the distance
G is the constant.
Now by putting the values
V=7059.44 m/s
iii)
We know that centripetal fore given as
Here given that m= 200 kg
R= 8000 km
so now by putting the values
F=1245.8 N
