A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 000 kg. Ii has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the Sun (Fig. P11.11). The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in accelerations grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)
Suppose a lump of ionized matter orbits a black hole with a period of 3.50 ms and an orbital radius of 140 km. What is the mass of the black hole? The mass of the sun is Ms = 1.99 x10^30 kg.

An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After a brief period of acceleration, it moves with a constant velocity, 70.0% of the speed of light. Its nuclear- powered batteries supply the energy to keep its data transmitter active continuously. The batteries have a lifetime of 15 years as measured in a rest frame. Note that radio waves travel at the speed of light and fill the space between the probe and Earth at the time the battery fails.
