V = 2 x (2pr)
m/s = 2 x (2 x 3.1416 x 6 x 0.3) m/s = 22.6 m/s
F = mV**2/r m
= 16 x 4.45 / 9.8 = 7.26 kg
F
= 7.26 x 22.6 x 22.6 / (6 x 0.3) = 2060 N
This HW problem
can be rephrased as follows:
A hammer thrower whirls the ball at K revolutions per second,
revolving a m kg ball at the end of a cable of R meters effective
radius. Show that the inward force is F = mR(2pK)**2.
Solution in equation
form: The inward
force is the centripetal force given by
F
= mV**2/R.
The speed of the revolving ball can be calculated from V = K2pR
F
= m(K 2pR)**2/R = mR(2pK)**2
P23
Re
= 6370 km, WS = 100 N at south pole
where centripetal force is zero.
V
= 465 m/s due to earth rotation at the equator
WE = WS - mV**2/Re
=
100 - (100/9.8) x (465)**2/(6.37 x 10**6)
=
100 N - 0.34 N = 99.66 N
P25
W
= mg = GmM/r**2
If m' = 2m and
r' = 2r,
then W' = Gm'M/r'**2 = G2mM/(2r)**2
= W/2
P33
V
= Vi - gt -------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)
z = zi + Vi t - (1/2) g
t**2 --------------------------------------------------- (2)
When z = h (maximum
height), V = 0 so that Vi
= gt ------------------------(3)
Substituting
(3) into (2),
z = h = 0 + gt**2
- (1/2)
g t**2 = (1/2) g t**2 so that
t = (2h/g)**(1/2) --------------------------------------------------------------(4)
substituting (4)
into (3) gives Vi = (2gh)**(1/2)
The same person
is jumping on Earth and on Venus, the initial velocity must be
the same.
so that (2gh)**(1/2) = (2g'h')**(1/2) where prime denotes quantities
on Venus.
The above equation
can be rewritten to show that
gh = g'h' or h' = (g/g') h = (1/0.88) h = 1.14 h
This HW problem
can be rephrased as "Show that the height of a jumper is
inversely proportional to the gravity."
