1.8 Practice Problem Hicial satellite orbiting in the equa-torial plane can be a synchronous satellite (i.e., can remain above the samespot on the surface of Earth).1.3. An artificial satellite is placed in a natural synchronous orbit above theequator and is attached to Earth below by a wire.A second satellite isattached to the first by a wire of the same length and is placed in orbitdirectly above the first at the same angular velocity. Assuming that the wireshave zero mass, calculate the tension in the wires per unit mass of satel-lite. Could this tension be used to lift objects into orbit with no additionalexpenditure of energy?1.4. A train is running smoothly along a curved track at the rate of 50 ms-1.A passenger standing on a set of scales observes that his weight is 10%greater than when the train is at rest. The track is banked so that the forceacting on the passenger is normal to the floor of the train. What is the radiusof curvature of the track?1.5. If a baseball player throws a ball a horizontal distance of 100 m at 30°latitude in 4 s, by how much is the ball deflected laterally as a result of therotation of Earth?1.6. Two balls 4 cm in diameter are placed 100 m apart on a frictionless hori-zontal plane at 43°N. If the balls are impulsively propelled directly at eachother with equal speeds, at what speed must they travel so that they justmiss each other?1.7. A locomotive of mass 2 × 105 kg travels 50 ms-1 along a straight horizontaltrack at 43°N. What lateral force is exerted on the rails? Compare the mag-nitudes of the upward reaction force exerted by the rails for cases wherethe locomotive is traveling eastward and westward, respectively.1.8.

Neglect-ing air resistance, by what distance will it be displaced horizontally whenit returns to the ground? (Neglect 22u cos o compared to g in the verticalmomentum equation.)1.10. A block of mass M = 1 kg is suspended from the end of a weightless string.The other end of the string is passed through a small hole in a horizontalplatform and a ball of mass m = 10 kg is attached. At what angular veloc-ity must the ball rotate on the horizontal platform to balance the weightof the block if the horizontal distance of the ball from the hole is 1 m?While the ball is rotating, the block is pulled down 10 cm.
