Please answer question 8 parts a-c Problem 8: In this problem you will measure the gravitational constant in a series of "observational experiments," making use ofNewton's law of gravitation and second law of motion as well as Kepler's third law of planetary motionPart (a) Newton measured the centripetal acceleration of the moon in its orbit around Earth by comparing the force Earth exerts on the moon withthe force Earth exerts on an apple. He obtained a value of a. = 2.7x103 m/s2. If Newton had taken the mass of Earth to be Mp = 6.01x1024 kg andthe mean distance between the centers of Earth and the moon to be RME = 3.86×10š m, what value would he have obtained for the gravitationalconstant, in units of N•m2/kg?Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.G =Part (b) Since measuring the centripetal acceleration of an orbiting body is rather difficult, an alternative approach is to use the body's rotationalperiod instead. Enter an expression for the gravitational constant, in terms of the distance between Earth and the moon, RME, Earth's mass MF, andthe moon's period of rotation around Earth, T.Expression :G =Select from the variables below to write your expression. Note that all variables may not be required.В, у, л, ө, d, g, h, j, k, m, Me, n, P, RME»TPart (c) Using the expression you entered in part (b) and taking the rotational period of the moon to be T= 27.3 days, what value would Newtonhave calculated for the gravitation constant, in units of N•m2/kg²? Take ME = 6.01l×1024 kg and RME = 3.86×10³ m.Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.G =Part (d) The gravitational constant may also be calculated by analyzing the motion of a rocket. Suppose a rocket is launched vertically from thesurface or Earth at an initial speed of v;. Its initial distance from the center of Earth is R;, the radius of Earth. Its peak distance, where its speed ismomentarily zero is, is Rç. For simplicity, ignore air resistance and Earth's rotation.
