Ann [662]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

According to researches done by the astronomers, it has been found that the earth collided with a giant Mars-size early proto-planet, whose name was 'Theia' during the Hadean era, about.5 billion years back. This collision resulted in the detachment of a considerably huge amount of material away from the earth. The remnant debris particles accumulated and gave rise to the formation of moon. The earth during that time was comprised of molten lava only, and from this collision, the earth attained its tilt of approximately 23.5°.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures
