Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.158P
A satellite will travel indefinitely in a circular orbit around the earth if the normal component of its acceleration is equal to g(R/r)2, where g = 9.81 m/s2, R = radius of the earth = 6370 km, and r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite. Assuming that the orbit of the moon is a circle with a radius of 384 × 103 km, determine the speed of the moon relative to the earth.

A satellite will travel indefinitely in a circular orbit around a planet if the normal component of the acceleration of the satellite is equal to g(R/r)2, where g is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the planet, R is the radius of the planet, and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the satellite. Knowing that the diameter of the sun is 1.39 Gm and that the acceleration of gravity at its surface is 274 m/s2, determine the radius of the orbit of the indicated planet around the sun assuming that the orbit is circular.

At a certain point in the reentry of the space shuttle into the earth's atmosphere, the total acceleration of the shuttle may be
represented by two components. One component is the gravitational acceleration g = 9.56 m/s2 at this altitude. The second
component equals 11.25 m/s² due to atmospheric resistance and is directed opposite to the velocity. The shuttle is at an altitude of
47.9 km and has reduced its orbital velocity of 28300 km/h to 14750 km/h in the direction = 1.88°. For this instant, calculate the
radius of curvature of the path and the rate i at which the speed is changing.

- A box is moving in the i direction with a constant acceleration. A mass, suspended from the top of the box by a linear spring (unstretched length of zero), is moving to the right as well and isn't moving with respect to the box (the spring isn't changing in length and θ is constant). The force exerted by the spring on the mass is given by its spring constant k times its extension. For the present case, the spring is extended 5 cm from its rest length, k = 30 N/m and m = 0.15 kg.
