Answer:

μs = 0.68

μk = 0.577

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that the normal force on a body that rests on a horizontal surface is equal to the weight of a body but in the opposite direction.

$W=N\\N=m*g\\N=105*9.81\\N=1030.05[N]$

The friction force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force.

Now when the body is in motion we have that the coefficient of friction is the dynamic one.

595 = μk*N

μk = 595/1030.05

μk = 0.577

Now to start moving it requires a force of 705 [N].

705 = μs*N

μs = 705/1030.05

μs = 0.68

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where:

F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
M => Mass of asteroid 1
m => Mass of asteroid 2
R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2} }{36}$
