Chapter 16, Problem 56EAP

Internal Temperature of the Sun. The Sun is essentially a gas cloud in which the forces of pressure and gravity balance each other. We can therefore use the equation in Mathematical Insight 16.1 to estimate the interior temperature of the Sun from its mass and particle density.

  1. What is the average number density of particles within the Sun, given that the average mass per particle is about  10 24  gram ? (Hint: The volume of a sphere of radius is equal to  4 π r 3 / 3 .)
  2. What is the approximate temperature necessary for gas pressure to balance gravity within the Sun, given the average particle density from part a?
  3. How does your estimate compare with the internal core temperature of the Sun?

The inclined plate shown in the sketch is supported by two hinges, Band C, attached to a vertical wall, and by a cable AD which exerts a force P-1.72 LN at point A. The cable anchor point D. lies in the y. plane. Hinge B can act as a thrus bearing, but C cannot. The weight of the plate acts at its centre (a) Write the force P as vector components.  Determine the weight of the plate and the reactions at hinge C
QC v Rigid rods of negligible mass lying along the y axis connect three particles (Fig. P10.25). The system rotates about the x axis with an angular speed of 2.00 rad/s. Find (a) the moment of inertia about the x axis, Answer (b) the total rotational kinetic energy evaluated from 1/1 I W², Answer (c) the tangential speed of each particle, and Answer (d) the total kinetic energy evaluated from Answer (e) Compare the answers for kinetic energy in parts (a) and (b).
