Answer:
P₂ = 1.22 kPa
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using the equation of state:
where,
P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa
P₂ = final pressure = ?
V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter
V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter
T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k
T₂ = final temperature = 390 k
Therefore,
<u>P₂ = 1.22 kPa</u>
Given,
Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles
Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles
The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.
From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is
Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person
At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg
i.e.
On substituting the of d,
At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,
On dividing the above two equations,
Therefore,
Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.
