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 . Find g for both eq and for RinrRout . Assuming the inside of the shell is kept airless, describe travel inside the spherical shell planet.
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).
We are planning a human exploration mission to Mars. We will first place our spacecraft into a circular around Mars and then send down a lander. a) If we want the spacecraft to orbit at an altitude of 170 km above the Martian surface, what will the velocity and orbital period of the spacecraft? b) When we land astronauts on the surface of Mars, what acceleration due to gravity in terms of g’s (i.e. as a fraction of the Earth’s gravitational acceleration) will the astronauts experience? You are permitted to use an online resource (e.g. Google) to find the necessary information about Mars that you might need in solving this problem.

A sensitive gravimeter at a mountain observatory finds that the free-fall acceleration is 0.0065 m/s2m/s2 less than that at sea level (g sea level = 9.83 m/s2m/s2). What is the observatory's altitude? Assume R earth = 6.37 ×× 1066 mm. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
To simulate the apparent weightlessness of space orbit, astronauts are trained in the hold of a cargo aircraft that is accelerating downward at g. Why do they appear to be weightless, as measured by standing on a bathroom scale, in this accelerated frame of reference? Is there any difference between their apparent weightlessness in orbit and in the aircraft?
