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?

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. Note…
At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 3.24 m/s, and an 81.3-kg person feels a 299-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?

- Tidal forces are gravitational forces exerted on different parts of a object by a second object. Their effects are particularly visible on Earth's surface in the form of tides. To understand the origin of tidal forces, consider Earth-Moon system to consist of two spherical bodies, each with a spherical mass distribution. Let RE be the radius of Earth, m be the mass of the Moon, and G be the gravitational constant. Part B Since the gravitational force between two bodies decreses with distance, the accelaeration a(near) experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth's surface closest to moon is slightly different from the acceleration a(far) experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth`s surface farthest from the moon. Give a general expresion for the quantity a(near)- a(far).arrow_forwardA 64 kg skier encounters a dip in the snow's surface that has a circular cross section with a radius of curvature of 12 m.
