We presented Newton’s Law of Gravitation. We also explained the acceleration due to gravity. Create a graph that shows the acceleration due to gravity as a function of distance from the earth’s surface. Change the distance from sea level to an altitude of 5000 m.
Using the figure shown below, determine the moment of inertia with respect to the reference X and Y axis.
