Answer:
It increases proportionally
Explanation:
The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the Earth's radius
In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)
Answer:
The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.
Explanation:
To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:
Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:
Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:
In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.
