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.

- You pass by a building site and see a crane that lifts loads to upper floors of a building under construction. You wonder about the magnitude of the forces that support the beam of the crane. You snap a photograph of the crane with your smartphone. Back at home, you make a drawing of the crane from your photo. Your drawing is shown in the following figure. m M B *CM You estimate the lengths d and I by measuring the distance between floors on a point of the building the same distance from your smartphone as the crane and using that distance as a scale for the drawing. This tells you that d 1.00 m and t = 6.00 m. You have drawn the force vector for the gravitational force on the beam of the crane, but then you realize you don't know where the center of mass of the beam is located.

A useful equation for this decrease in g is g= a – bz, where z is the elevation above sea level, a = 9.807 m/s2, and b= 3.32 x 10-6 1/s2. An astronaut "weighs" 80.0 kg at sea level. [Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z = 345 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel immediately after the satellite stopped moving? The person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station is 691 N. The astronaut feels a gravitational acceleration of 9.807 m/s2.arrow_forward
