Chapter 6: Q6.3-34 PE (page 223)

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at Earth due to the Sun. (c) Take the ratio of the Moon鈥檚 acceleration to the Sun鈥檚 and comment on why the tides are predominantly due to the Moon in spite of this number.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Magnitude of acceleration to the moon,\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.43x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 5}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\).

(b) Magnitude of acceleration to the sun,\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = 5}}{\rm{.93x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 3}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\).

(c) Ratio of both acceleration of moon to sun\(\frac{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{\rm{ = 5}}{\rm{.78x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 3}}}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Gravity

Gravity is a universal phenomenon and is introduced by Newton and Derived the expression for gravitational force.

02

Given Data

Mass of the earth \({{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{\rm{ = 5}}{\rm{.979 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{24}}}}{\rm{ kg}}\)

Mass of the moon \({{\rm{M}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = 7}}{\rm{.3477 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{22}}}}{\rm{ kg}}\)

Mass of the sun \({{\rm{M}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.9891 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{30}}}}{\rm{ kg}}\)

Distance from surface of the earth to moon

\(\begin{aligned}{}{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {{\rm{3}}{\rm{.84 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{-- 6371 x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}} \right)\\{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.78 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{ m}}\end{aligned}\)

Distance from surface of the earth to sun

\(\begin{aligned}{}{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.496 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{11}}}}{\rm{-- 6371 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{3}}}} \right)\\{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.496 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{11}}}}{\rm{ m}}\end{aligned}\)

Acceleration due to gravity due to moon\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = ?}}\)

Acceleration due to gravity due to sun \({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = ?}}\)

03

Calculation of Magnitude of acceleration to moon

The gravitational force on the surface of the earth due to the moon is given by the equation

\({\rm{F = G}}\frac{{{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{m}}}^{\rm{2}}}}\)

Substituting the value of force in this equation, we get

\({{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = G}}\frac{{{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{m}}}^{\rm{2}}}}\)

\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = G}}\frac{{{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{m}}}^{\rm{2}}}}\)

\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = 6}}{\rm{.673 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 11}}}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{7}}{\rm{.3477 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{22}}}}}}{{{{{\rm{(3}}{\rm{.78x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right)\)

\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}{\rm{ = 3}}{\rm{.43x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 5}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

04

Calculation of Magnitude of acceleration to sun

Similarly, the gravitational force exerted by the sun on the earth's surface is determined by the equation.

\(\begin{aligned}{}{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = G}}\frac{{{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{s}}}^{\rm{2}}}}\\{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = G}}\frac{{{{\rm{M}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_{\rm{s}}}^{\rm{2}}}}\end{aligned}\)

\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = 6}}{\rm{.673 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 11}}}} \times \left( {\frac{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.9891 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{30}}}}}}{{{{{\rm{(1}}{\rm{.496x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{11}}}}{\rm{)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}} \right)\)

\({{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}{\rm{ = 5}}{\rm{.93x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 3}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

05

Calculation of ratio of both acceleration of moon to sun

The ratio of the moon鈥檚 acceleration to the sun鈥檚 acceleration

\(\begin{aligned}{}\frac{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{3}}{\rm{.43x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 5}}}}}}{{{\rm{5}}{\rm{.93x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 3}}}}}}\\\frac{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{m}}}}}{{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{\rm{ = 5}}{\rm{.78x1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 3}}}}\end{aligned}\)

If we take the difference of centripetal acceleration on two opposite sides of the moon, we get a difference of \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.2 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 6}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\) and for two opposite sides of the sun, this difference is \({\rm{1 x 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 6}}}}{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\). This difference tells us Centripetal force on earth is more influenced by the moon rather than the sun.

Newton鈥檚 laws of motion and gravity were among the first to convincingly demonstrate the underlying simplicity and unity in nature. Many other examples have since been discovered, and we now expect to find such underlying order in complex situations. Is there proof that such order will always be found in new explorations?

A number of amusement parks have rides that make vertical loops like the one shown in Figure. For safety, the cars are attached to the rails in such a way that they cannot fall off. If the car goes over the top at just the right speed, gravity alone will supply the centripetal force. What other force acts and what is its direction if: (a) The car goes over the top at faster than this speed? (b)The car goes over the top at slower than this speed?

A mother pushes her child on a swing so that his speed is9.00m/s at the lowest point of this path. The swing is suspended 2.00 mabove the child鈥檚 center of mass.

(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the child at the low point?

(b) What is the magnitude of the force the child exerts on the seat if his mass is 18.0 kg?

(c) What is unreasonable about these results?

(d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?

Is there a real force that throws water from clothes during the spin cycle of a washing machine? Explain how the water is removed.

Microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 6rev/min. What is this in revolutions per second? What is the angular velocity in radians per second?
