Chapter 13, Problem 20P
Mile-high building. In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constructed. Ignoring Earth’s rotation, find the change in your weight if you were to ride an elevator from the street level, w here you weigh 600 N, to the top of the building.

Students have asked these similar questions
Deimos, a moon of Mars, is about 12 km in diameter with mass 2.0 × 10¹5 kg.
Suppose you are stranded alone on Deimos and want to play a one-person game of
baseball. You would be the pitcher, and you would be the batter!
a. With what speed would you have to throw a baseball so that it would go into a
circular orbit just above the surface and return to you so you could hit it? Do you
think you could actually throw it at this speed?
b. How long (in hours) after throwing the ball should you be ready to hit it? Would
this be an action-packed baseball game?
3. A physics student takes a scale onto the roller coaster, places it on the seat
and sits on it and takes a ride. The scale reads her weight, 600 N when she is
at rest. While going around the loop of radius R = 7.5 m, she looks down and
sees that the scale reads 300 N as she passes through the top of the loop (at
A).
В
A. How fast is she traveling at that instant in time?
A body of mass 2 kg moves in a (counterclockwise) circular path of radius 10 meters, making one revolution every 7 seconds. You may assume the circle
is in the xy-plane, and so you may ignore the third component.
A. Compute the centripetal force acting on the body.
B. Compute the magnitude of that force.
Note: Use exact forms or at least 4 significant digits in your answers.

- q36arrow_forwardThe following questions relate to other Moons in our solar system. a. Europa is a Galilean satellite of Jupiter, where there is most probably a liquid water ocean underneath a thick cover of ice due to internal heating caused by the interaction with Jupiter and the other Galilean moons . The orbital period of Europa is P = 3.551 days; the semimajor axis of its orbit is a = 670 900km. Given this information, find the mass of Jupiter. b. Deimos is the outer moon of Mars. The orbital period of Deimos is P = 1.263 days; the semimajor axis of its orbit is a = 23 463.2km. Find the mass of Mars.arrow_forwardAPPENDIX J Orbit, A Planetary Orbit Code Orbit is a computer program designed to calculate the position of a planet orbiting a massive star (or, alternatively, the orbit of the reduced mass about the center of mass of the system). The program is based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion as derived in Chapter 2. References to the relevant equations are given in the comment sections of the code. The user is asked to enter the mass of the parent star (in solar masses), the semimajor axis of the orbit (in AU), and the eccentricity of the orbit. The user is also asked to enter the number of time steps desired for the calculation (perhaps 1000 to 100,000) and the frequency with which the time steps are to be printed to the output file (0rbit.txt). If 1000 time steps are specified with a frequency of 10, then 100 evenly spaced (in time) time steps will be printed. The output file can be imported directly into a graphics or spreadsheet program in order to generate a graph of the orbit. Note…arrow_forward
