Answer

  1. Earth鈥檚 circumference is4.00104km.
  2. Earth鈥檚 surface area is5.10108km2.
  3. Earth鈥檚 volume is1.081012km3.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The radius of the Earth,=6.37106m

02

Step 2: Understanding the system of units

A system of units is a set of units in which units are represented in terms of some fundamental units. In SI system of units, there are seven fundamental units.

The expression for the circumference is given as follows:

C=2R 鈥 (i)

The expression for the surface area of sphere is given as follows:

A=4R2 鈥 (ii)

The expression for the volume of sphere is given as follows:

V=4R33 鈥 (iii)

03

 Step 3: (a) Determination of Circumference of the Earth

Convert the radius of the Earth from meter to kilometer.

R=6.37106m=6.37106m1km1000m=6.37103km

Substitute the value of R in equation (i).

C=2R=23.146.37106m=4.00104km

Thus, the circumference of the Earth is 4.00104km.

04

(b) Determination of the surface area of a sphere 

Usingequation(ii),thesurfaceareaofEarthiscalculatedas:A=4蟺搁2=43.14(6.37103)=5.10108km2Thus,thesurfaceareaoftheEarthis5.10108km2.

05

(c) Determination of the volume of the Earth

Usingequation(iii),thevolumeoftheEarthiscalculatedas:V=4R33=43.14(6.37103km)3=1.081012kmThus,thevolumeoftheEarthis1.081012km.

As a contrast between the old and the modern and between the large and the small, consider the following: In old rural England 1 hide (between 100 and 120 acres) was the area of land needed to sustain one family with a single plough for one year. (An area of 1 acre is equal to 4047 m2.) Also, 1 wapentake was the area of land needed by 100 such families. In quantum physics, the cross-sectional area of a nucleus (defined in terms of the chance of a particle hitting and being absorbed by it) is measured in units of barns, where 1 barn is110-28m2. (In nuclear physics jargon, if a nucleus is 鈥渓arge,鈥 then shooting a particle at it is like shooting a bullet at a barn door, which can hardly be missed.) What is the ratio of 15wapentakes to 11barns?

Figure 10-35shows three 0.0100kg particles that have been glued to a rod of length L=6.00cm and negligible mass. The assembly can rotate around a perpendicular axis through point Oat the left end. If we remove one particle (that is, 33%of the mass), by what percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease when that removed particle is (a) the innermost one and (b) the outermost one?

Question: The record for the largest glass bottle was set in 1992 by a team in Millville, New Jersey鈥攖hey blew a bottle with a volume of 193 U.S. fluid gallons. (a) How much short of 1.0 million cubic centimeters is that? (b) If the bottle were filled with water at the leisurely rate of 1.8 g/min, how long would the filling take? Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3.
