In 1885 European leaders met at the infamous Berlin Conference to divide Africa and arbitrarily draw up borders that exist to this day. Lines of longitude and latitude, rivers and mountain ranges were pressed into service as borders separating the colonies.
Answer: at the equator the normal force will be 3.4N less and at the North Pole = 980N
Explanation:
So, we will start the Calculation by considering the equation below;
Fnet = F(g) - F(N); where Fnet = mv^2/ r.
Hence, F(g) - F(N) = mv^2/ r -------------(1).
Making F(N) the subject of the formula, we have;
F(N) = Gm1m2/r^2 - mv^2/r.
Thus, we have;
Gm1m2/r^2 = 6.68 × 10^-11 × (5.98 × 20^24) × 100/ 6.38 × 10^6 = 980N.
Also, we have;
mv^2/r = m4π^2r/T^2.
100 × 6.38 ×10^6 × 4π^2/(24 × 3600)^2 = 3.4N
Therefore, at the equator the normal force will be 3.4N less and at the North Pole = 980N.
The answer is very small crystals
