Four point masses are arranged in a square of side length L as shown. All of the masses are in the xy-plane. Mass 2 and Mass 4 have mass of 4.6 kg, and Mass 1 and Mass 3 have a mass of 1 kg.

6:36 1 A space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of radius 4000 km about the planet Mars. As the probe reaches A the point of its original trajectory closest to Mars, it is inserted into a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed. This orbit brings it to Point 8 with a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted into a second transfer orbit by further reducing its speed. Knowing that the mass of Mars is 0.1074 times the mass of the earth, that rA 9004 km and rg- 180 004 km, and that the probe approaches A on a parabolic trajectory, determine the time needed for the space probe to travel from A to Bon its first transfer orbit.

A bolt is threaded onto one end of a thin horizontal rod, and the rod is then rotated horizontally about its other end. An engineer monitors the motion by flashing a strobe lamp onto the rod and bolt, adjusting the strobe rate until the bolt appears to be in the same eight places during each full rotation of the rod (Fig. 6-42). The strobe rate is 2000 flashes per second; the bolt has mass 30 g and is at radius 3.5 cm. What is the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the rod?
(a) If the legendary apple of Newton could be released from rest at a height of 2 m from the surface of a neutron star with a mass 1.5 times that of our Sun and a radius of 20 km, what would be the apple’s speed when it reached the surface of the star? (b) If the apple could rest on the surface of the star, what would be the approximate difference between the gravitational acceleration at the top and at the bottom of the apple? (Choose a reasonable size for an apple; the answer indicates that an apple would never survive near a neutron star.)
