Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m. Set up the equations of motion for equilibrium, setting one coordinate in the direction of the centripetal accleration (toward P in the diagram), the other perpendicular to that. Show that the deflection angle , defined as the angle between the pendulum string and the radial direction toward the center of Earth, is given by the expression below. What is the deflection angle at latitude 45 degrees? Assume that Earth is a perfect sphere. tan(+)=gg2REtan , where is the angular velocity of Earth.
Check Your Understanding The U.S. Air Force uses “10gs” (an acceleration equal to 109.8m/s2 ) as the maximum acceleration a human can withstand (but only tot several seconds) aid survive. How much time must the Enterprise spend accelerating if the humans on board are to experience an average at most 10gs of acceleration? (Assume the inertial dampeners are offline.)
Following the technique used in Gravitation Near Earth’s Surface, find the value of g as a function of the radius r from the center of a spherical shell planet of constant density with inner and outer radii Rin and Rout .

2. (a) What are meant by gravitational potential and gravitational field? How far away fromthe earth does the acceleration due to gravity become 10% of its value on the earth’ssurface? NB:The radius of the earth is 6370 km. (b) What is meant by escape velocity?

Giventhat ME = 5.98 × 1024 kg, RE = 6370 km, G = 6.67 × 10-11 N.m2/kg2.
Consider a satellite of mass m moving in a circular orbit around the Earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the Earth’s surface as illustrated as shown. (A) Determine the speed of the satellite in terms of G, h, RE (the radius of the Earth), and ME (the mass of the Earth).
The weight of bodies may change somewhat from onelocation to another as a result of the variation of the gravitationalacceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variationusing the relation, determine the weight ofan 80‑kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m),and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).
Given that a satellite has to be shifted 300km further from Earth than it's original geosynchronous orbit (that has period = 24hrs & radial distance of 42300km from center of the planet). Using most of the derivations from Newton's 2nd Law, a. what is the orbital period of the new orbit after shifting in hrs? b. How much energy would it take to move to new orbit if mass of satellite = 6350kg ? Givens -> Mass of earth = 5.98x10^24 kg G= 6.673x10^-11 (you can use other constants)
