Answer:

Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

Explanation:

from the question,

W = mg........................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.............. Equation 2

Given: W = 1000 N,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

m = 1000/10

m = 100 kg

Weight on the moon

W' = mg'

W' = 100(1.624)

W' = 162.4 N.

Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

The value of normal force as the slider passes point B is

  • 6 mg

The value of h when the normal force is zero

  • 3R/2

<h3>How to solve for the normal force</h3>

The normal force is calculated using the work energy principle which is applied as below

K₁ + U₁ = K₂

k represents kinetic energy

U represents potential energy

the subscripts 1,2 , and 3 = a, b, and c

for 1 to 2

K₁ + W₁ = K₂

0 + mg(h + R) = 0.5mv²₂

g(h + R) = 0.5v²₂

v²₂ = 2g(1.5R + R)

v²₂ = 2g(2.5R)

v²₂ = 5gR

Using summation of forces at B

Normal force, N  = ma + mg

N = m(a + g)

N = m(v²₂/R + g)

N = m(5gR/R + g)

N = 6mg

for 1 to 3

K₁ + W₁ = K₃ + W₃

0 + mgh = 0.5mv²₃ + mgR

gh = 0.5v²₃ + gR

0.5v²₃ = gh - gR

v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

at C

for normal force to be zero

ma = mg

v²₃/R = g

v²₃ = gR

and v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

gR = 2gh - 2gR

gR + 2gR = 2gh

3gR = 2gh

3R/2 = h
