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.
Answer:
Explanation:
I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.
The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is
a = R α .... (1)
According to the diagram,
T x R = I x α
T x R = I x a / R from equation (1)
T = I x a / R² .... (2)
mg - T = ma .... (3)
Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)
T is the acceleration in the system
Substitute the value of a in equation (2)
This is the tension in the string.
