Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit

y from the attached density profile for a spherical shell (which does not have to be very thin, for example, a shell from the inner core-outer core boundary to the middle depth of the outer core). Do not make the shell contains a large density contrast. Calculate enough points to make the g profile. Note that only the mass at radius less than r contributes to the gravitational acceleration.

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

  = 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 3.64 m/s

A car rounds a curve. The radius of curvature of the road is R, the banking angle with respect to the horizontal is θ and the co
exis [7]

Answer:

v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the car is presented in the attached image to this answer.

The forces acting on the car include the weight of the car, the normal reaction of the plane on the car, the frictional force on the car and the net force on the car which is the centripetal force on the car keeping it in circular motion without slipping.

Resolving the weight into the axis parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane,

N = mg cos θ

And the component parallel to the inclined plane that slides the body down the plane at rest = mg sin θ

Frictional force = Fr = μN = μmg cos θ

Centripetal force responsible for keeping the car in circular motion = (mv²/R)

So, a force balance in the plane parallel to the inclined plane shows that

Centripetal force = (mg sin θ - Fr) (since the car slides down the plane at rest, (mg sin θ) is greater than the frictional force)

(mv²/R) = (mg sin θ - μmg cos θ)

v² = R(g sin θ - μg cos θ)

v² = gR (sin θ - μcos θ)

v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]

Hope this Helps!!!
