Chapter 13, Problem 18P
Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R = 2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6 × 103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?

applied to corners B and D have the same magnitude of 12 N and are
directed parallel to the long and short sides of the rectangle. The long
side of the rectangle is twice as long as the short side. An axis of ro-

- APPENDIX J Orbit, A Planetary Orbit Code Orbit is a computer program designed to calculate the position of a planet orbiting a massive star (or, alternatively, the orbit of the reduced mass about the center of mass of the system). The program is based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion as derived in Chapter 2. References to the relevant equations are given in the comment sections of the code. The user is asked to enter the mass of the parent star (in solar masses), the semimajor axis of the orbit (in AU), and the eccentricity of the orbit. The user is also asked to enter the number of time steps desired for the calculation (perhaps 1000 to 100,000) and the frequency with which the time steps are to be printed to the output file (0rbit.txt). If 1000 time steps are specified with a frequency of 10, then 100 evenly spaced (in time) time steps will be printed. The output file can be imported directly into a graphics or spreadsheet program in order to generate a graph of the orbit.

If point D is the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, point A is located at (−4.60,−3.50,2.50) ft, point B is located at (2.10,−3.50,1.90) ft, and point C is located at (2.10,6.00,−1.60) ft. 1) The tension in cable DA has a magnitude of TDA=7.66 lb.

As the cylinder rotates faster, riders get stuck to the wall. The effect is great enough, that in some rides, the floor even drops away. Let’s model the Gravitron as a rotating cylinder with vertical walls. The radius of the cylinder is 5.5 m. At one point during the ride, the speed of the Gravitron is 24 rpm, at which point a rider slides down the wall at constant speed.
