Chapter 13, Problem 11Q
Figure 13-30 shows three uniform spherical planets that are identical in size and mass. The periods of rotation T for the planets are given, and six lettered points are indicated — three points are on the equators of the planets and three points are on the north poles. Rank the points according to the value of the free-fall acceleration gat them, greatest first.

A uniform distribution of dust in the solar system adds to the gravitational attraction of the Sun on a planet an additional forceF = −m C rwhere m is the mass of the planet, C is a constant proportional to the gravitational constant and the density of the dust, and r is the radius vector from the Sun to the planet (both considered as points). This additional force is very small compared to the direct Sun-planet gravitational force.
Calculate the period of radial oscillations for slight disturbances fromthis circular orbit.
Assume a planet is a uniform sphere of radius R that(somehow) has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Also assume we can position an apple anywherealong the tunnel or outside the sphere. Let FR be the magnitudeof the gravitational force on the apple when it is located atthe planet’s surface. How farfrom the surface is there a pointwhere the magnitude is FR ifwe move the apple (a) awayfrom the planet and (b) intothe tunnel?
Four uniform spheres, with masses mA= 40 kg,mB = 35 kg, mC = 200 kg, and mD= 50 kg, have (x, y) coordinates of (0, 50 cm),(0, 0), (-80 cm, 0), and (40 cm, 0), respectively. In unit-vector notation,what is the net gravitational force on sphere B due to theother spheres?
