Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
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
