All the junk in space is because of people on Earth launching things into space.

The moment of inertia of a point mass about an arbitrary point is given by:

I = mr²

I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the distance between the arbitrary point and the point mass

The center of mass of the system is located halfway between the 2 inner masses, therefore two masses lie ℓ/2 away from the center and the outer two masses lie 3ℓ/2 away from the center.

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moments of each mass, i.e.

I = ∑mr²

The moment of inertia of each of the two inner masses is

I = m(ℓ/2)² = mℓ²/4

The moment of inertia of each of the two outer masses is

I = m(3ℓ/2)² = 9mℓ²/4

The total moment of inertia of the system is

I = 2[mℓ²/4]+2[9mℓ²/4]

I = mℓ²/2+9mℓ²/2

I = 10mℓ²/2

I = 5mℓ²

How far from Earth must a space probe be along a line toward the Sun so that the Sun's gravitational pull on the probe balances

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

258774.9441 m

Explanation:

x = Distance of probe from Earth

y = Distance of probe from Sun

Distance between Earth and Sun = $x+y=149.6\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant

$M_s$ = Mass of Sun = $1.989\times 10^{30}$

$M_e$ = Mass of Earth = $5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

According to the question

$\frac{GM_sm}{x^2}=\frac{GM_em}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{M_s}{x^2}=\frac{M_e}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{M_s\times y^2}{M_e}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{1.989\times 10^{30}\times y^2}{5.972\times 10^{24}}}\\\Rightarrow x=577.10852y$

$x+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 577.10852y+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 578.10852y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{149.6\times 10^6}{578.10852}\\\Rightarrow y=258774.9441\ m$

The probe should be 258774.9441 m from Earth
