Chapter 3, Problem 94SP
A man who weighs 1000 N on Earth stands on a scale on the surface of the mythical
nonspinning planet Mongo. That body has a mass that is 4.80 times Earth’s mass and
a diameter, that is 0.500 times Earth’s diameter. Neglecting the effect of the Earth’s
spin, how much does the scale read?

- A space station is constructed in the shape of a wheel 20 m in diameter, with essentially all of its 5.2×105 kg mass at the rim. Once the station is completed, it is set rotating at a rate that requires an object at the rim to have radial acceleration g , thereby simulating Earth's surface gravity. This is accomplished using two small rockets, each with 130 N thrust, that are mounted on the rim of the station. How long will it take to reach the desired spin rate, and how many revolutions will the station make in this time?arrow_forwardIn the Earth-moon system, we know both bodies actually orbit around thecenter of mass of the system.
