Astronomical unit

Explanation:

Short Answer: It's (au)

Long Answer:

The astronomical unit (au or AU) is defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters (about 93 million mi), which is roughly equal to the average distance between the Sun and Earth.

The value of the force, F₀, at equilibrium is equal to the horizontal

component of the tension in string 2.

Response:

The value of F₀ so that string 1 remains vertical is approximately <u>0.377·M·g</u>

<h3>How can the equilibrium of forces be used to find the value of F₀?</h3>

Given:

The weight of the rod = The sum of the vertical forces in the strings

Therefore;

M·g = T₂·cos(37°) + T₁

The weight of the rod is at the middle.

Taking moment about point (2) gives;

M·g × L = T₁ × 2·L

Therefore;

$T_1 = \mathbf{\dfrac{M \cdot g}{2}}$

Which gives;

$M \cdot g = \mathbf{T_2 \cdot cos(37 ^{\circ})+ \dfrac{M \cdot g}{2}}$

$T_2 = \dfrac{M \cdot g - \dfrac{M \cdot g}{2}}{cos(37 ^{\circ})} = \mathbf{\dfrac{M \cdot g}{2 \cdot cos(37 ^{\circ})}}}$

F₀ = T₂·sin(37°)

Which gives;

$F_0 = \dfrac{M \cdot g \cdot sin(37 ^{\circ})}{2 \cdot cos(37 ^{\circ})}} = \dfrac{M \cdot g \cdot tan(37 ^{\circ})}{2} \approx \mathbf{0.377 \cdot M \cdot g}$
