Newton's universal law of gravitation can be stated as the force F of gravitation between two objects varies jointly as the masses m, and m, of the objects, and Gm,m2 inversely as the square of the distance r between their centers, where G is the constant of proportionality. In other words, F = The weight of an object is the force F on the object due to gravity, where F = mg. State how g (the acceleration due to gravity) varies with respect to the mass m, of the spherical body on which the object lies, and the radius of that body (assume all of the mass is at its center.). The acceleration due to gravity, g, varies as the spherical body's mass, and as

5:02 94%| This is a diagram of the earth and something or someone standing. The figure is rotated so that the person or object is at the top. The object is not to scale compared with the earth. In fact, the object (height h) is far smaller than the radius of the earth. We will calculate the distance and angle viewable at the top of the arrow. h R To start with, calculate h/R * 100000, given the following numbers. (Multiplying by some large number is the only way to get a non-zero answer out of the computer.) •h = 6*10? meters R 6.37 * 106 meters %D

Schwarzschild radius RS of a black hole is the maximum distance from the black hole’s center at which light cannot escape its gravitational field. The quantity RS (with dimensions of length) is dependent on the mass of the black hole M, the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant G. Based on the dimensions of these four parameters, predict an equation for the Schwarzschild radius. Hint: G has dimensions of [L3/MT2]

1. 15° T₁ W T₂ J.10° Our goal is to calculate the tensions in the two ropes if the person is momentarily motionless (Part 3). Set up Newton's 2nd Law in the x and y directions when the system is at rest. What should the sum of the forces add up to? 1. Set-up Newton's 2nd Law is in terms of symbols and notations only. Please do not substitute any numerical values except for the angles. Write expressions for ΣF, and ΣF, in terms of T₁, T₂, m, g, and the numerical values of the angles. For example, you may express the x-component of T₁ as — T₁sin(15°) or T₁cos(105⁰) 1 2. Take the upward direction to be the +y-direction, and to the right to be the +x-direction.
