Uniform spheres A, B, and C have the following masses and centre-to-centre separations: mA =55 kg, mB =75 kg, mc = 95 kg; rAB =0.68 m, rBC =0.95 m. If the only forces acting on B are the forces of gravity due to A and C, determine the net force acting on B with the spheres arranged as in Figures 5(a) and (b).
A rotating star collapses under the influence of gravitational forces to form a pulsar. The radius of the pulsar is 5.00 × 10−4 times the radius of the star before collapse. There is no change in mass. In both cases, the mass of the star is uniformly distributed in a spherical shape.
If the period of the star’s rotation before collapse is 4.00 × 104 s, what is its period after collapse?

- Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forwardThe Earth is 1.5 × 1011 m from the Sun and takes a year to make one complete orbit. It rotates on its own axis once per day. It can be treated approximately as a uniform-density sphere of mass 6 × 1024 kg and radius 6.4 × 106 m (actually, its center has higher density than the rest of the planet, and the Earth bulges out a bit at the equator). Using this crude approximation, calculate the following.

- A star has a mass of 2.94 x 1030 kg and is moving in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy.

The linear mass density of the rod is given by λ(x) = 6 x4 (kg/m), where x is the distance from the center of the rod. The rod is in outer space, so you don't have to worry about any gravitational torques. There is a 168 N force that acts perpendicularly to the rod at its right end, and there is a 512 N force that acts halfway between the left end of the rod and its center. This force acts at an angle of 33 degrees to the vertical. This scenario is shown below: Calculate the angular acceleration of the rod, in rad/s2. The answer could be positive or negative.
