A certain quaternary star system consists of three stars, each of mass m, moving in the same circular orbit of radius r about a central star of mass M. The stars orbit in the same sense and are positioned one-third of a revolution apart from one another. Show that the period of each of the three stars is given by T=2r3G(M+m/3)
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft has a special orbit, located between the Earth and the Sun along the line joining them, and it is always close enough to the Earth to transmit data easily. Both objects exert gravitational forces on the observatory. It moves around the Sun in a near-circular orbit that is smaller than the Earths circular orbit. Its period, however, is not less than 1 yr but just equal to 1 yr. Show that its distance from the Earth must be 1.48 109 m. In 1772, Joseph Louis Lagrange determined theoretically the special location allowing this orbit. Suggestions: Use data that are precise to four digits. The mass of the Earth is 5.974 1024 kg. You will not be able to easily solve the equation you generate; instead, use a computer to verify that 1.48 109 m is the correct value.

If you use an Earth based telescope to project a laser beam onto the moon, you can move the spot across the moon's surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light Does this violate modern relativity? (Note that light is being sent from the Earth to the moon, not across the surface of the moon.)
When you are flying in a commercial jet, it may appear to you that the airplane is stationary and the Earth is moving beneath you. Is this point of view valid? Discuss briefly
A monkey hanging from a tree branch sees a hunter aiming a rifle directly at him. The monkey then sees a flash and knows that the rifle has been fired. Reacting quickly, the monkey lets go of the branch and drops so that the bullet can pass harmlessly over his head. Does this act save the monkey’s life? Why or why not? (Hint: Consider the similarities between this situation and that of Exercise 24.11.)
When the Earth passes a planet such as Mars, the planet appears to move backward for a time, a phenomenon known as retrograde motion. Ancient astronomers believed that the Earth did not move and that the planets moved around the Earth. They also believed that uniform circular motion was perfect and that heavenly objects such as planets exhibited this perfect motion. How do you suppose ancient astronomers accounted for retrograde motion? Include a sketch with your explanation.
