Answer:
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Explanation:
The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is
dF = GmdM/L²
Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.
So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,
Thus, the horizontal component of the force is
dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.
L = √(a² + x²)
cosФ = x/L
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
dF' = GmdMx/L³
dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Integrating both sides we have
∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³ ∫dM = M
F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
F = 52000 N
m = 1060 kg
a= F/m = 52000 N/1060 kg = 49.0566 m/s^2
Answer
given,
time = 10 s
ship's speed = 5 Km/h
F = m a
a is the acceleration and m is mass.
In the first case
F₁=m x a₁
where a₁ = difference in velocity / time
F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.
Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278
Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s
a₁ = 0.139 m/s²
F₂ =m x a₂
F₃ = F₂ + F₁
Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278
Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s
a₃=Δv₂ / t
a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s
m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂
a₃ = a₂ + a₁
0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139
a₂=0.3892 m²/s
F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)
F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)
F₂/F₁
ratio = 
ratio = 2.8
