The total mass of all the planets of the solar system.
(a)

Answer to Problem 36QAP
The total mass of the planets in the solar system is
Explanation of Solution
The mass of the all the planets in the solar system is the sum of the mass of the planets in terms of the mass of the Earth.
Write the expression for the total mass of all the planets.
Here,
Conclusion:
Substitute
Thus, the total mass of the planets in the solar system is
(b)
The fraction of the total planetary mass that is contained by the planet Jupiter.
(b)

Answer to Problem 36QAP
The fraction of the planetary mass contained in the Jupiter is
Explanation of Solution
The Jupiter is the biggest planet of the solar system. The planet consists of the almost the two-third part of the mass of the whole solar system.
Write the expression for the fraction of planetary mass contained in the Jupiter.
Here,
Conclusion:
Substitute
Thus, the fraction of the planetary mass contained in the Jupiter is
(c)
The fraction of the total planetary mass contained by the Earth.
(c)

- A plank 2.00 cm thick and 15.7 cm wide is firmly attached to the railing of a ship by clamps so that the rest of the board extends 2.00 m horizontally over the sea below. A man of mass 92.9 kg is forced to stand on the very end. If the end of the board drops by 5.97 cm because of the man's weight, find the shear modulus of the wood.arrow_forwardwhen considering particle B (4,1) distances in relation to P (-4, 5), why are the y coordinates being used gto resolve the distance along the x-axis and vice-versa?arrow_forwardA 198 kg load is hung on a wire of length of 3.58 m, cross-sectional area 2.00⋅ 10-5 m2, and Young's modulus 8.00⋅10^10 Pa.

- I. Pushing on a File Cabinet Bob has been asked to push a heavy file cabinet down the hall to another office. It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
