Answer:
35.6 N
Explanation:
We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.
There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:
- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by
with
- The frictional force, whose magnitude is
where , m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.
The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:
<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>
Explanation:
a) Acceleration due to gravity
Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,
G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m
Substituting,
Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²
b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²
Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95
Weight = mg
Factor of increase in weight = 27.95
