The sun is bigger than the earth, therefore it has more gravitational force than the earth.

Answer:

The force remains same.

Explanation:

Let the mass of sun is M and the mass of earth is m. The distance between them is d.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Thus, the force exerted by the sun on earth is equal to the force exerted by the earth on sun are same which is given by

F = G\frac{M\times m}{d^{2}}

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the small block m on top.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down, normal force N₁ pushing up, tension force T pulling right, and friction force N₁μ pushing left (opposing the direction of motion).

Now let's look at the large block M on bottom.  There are seven forces:

Normal force N₁ pushing down (opposite and equal from block m),

Friction force N₁μ pushing right (opposite and equal from block m),

Weight force Mg pulling down,

Tension force T pulling right,

Applied force F pulling left,

Normal force N₂ pushing up,

and friction force N₂μ pushing right (opposing the direction of motion).

So you've correctly identified the free body diagrams.

Now apply Newton's second law.  Sum of forces in the y direction for block m:

∑F = ma

N₁ − mg = 0

N₁ = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T − N₁μ = 0

T = N₁μ

T = mgμ

Sum of forces in the y direction for block M:

∑F = ma

-N₁ − Mg + N₂ = 0

N₂ = N₁ + Mg

N₂ = mg + Mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

N₁μ + T − F + N₂μ = 0

F = N₁μ + T + N₂μ

F = mgμ + mgμ + (mg + Mg)μ

F = gμ(3m + M)

Since M = 2m:

F = 5gμm

Plug in values:

F = 5 (10 m/s²) (0.400) (0.300 kg)

F = 6 N

Steam enters a one-inlet, two-exit control volume at location (1) at 360°C, 100 bar, with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inlet
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s

Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm

Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2)  and the remainder leaves at (3)

The mass flow rate is

m_{2}=0.15\times2

We need to calculate the mass flow rate at reach exit

Using formula of mass

m_{3}=m_{1}-m_{2}

m_{3}=2-0.15\times2

m_{3}=1.7\ kg/s

We need to calculate the inlet velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=\dfrac{m}{\rho A}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{2}{42.868\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(5.2\times10^{-2})^2}

v=21.9\ m/s

Hence, The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.
