(a) Calculate the magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth in a circular orbit around the sum. Is it reasonable to model it as a particle? (b)Calculate the magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth due to its rotation around an axis through the north and south poles, modeling it as a uniform sphere. Consult Appendix E and the astronomical data in Appendix E.

Hence, (a) The angular momentum is 2.671040kgm2/s.

(b) The magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth rotate around axis through the north and south islocalid="1667977043845" 7.071033kgm2/s.

Step by step solution

01

(a) The magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth.

According to the question, for a particle of mass m moving in a circular path at a distance r from the axis, I=mr2and v=r.

For a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R and an axis through its center, I=23MR2. The earth has mass mE=5.971024kg, radiusRE=6.38106mand orbit radius r=1.501011m. The earth completes one rotation on its axis in 24h=86,400sand one orbit in1year=3.156107s.

Use the formula for angular momentum,

Lz=Iz=mr2z=5.971024kg1.501011m22rad3.156107s=2.671040kgm2/s

Thus, the angular momentum is 2.671040kgm2/s.

02

(b) The magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth rotate around axis through the north and south.

Apply formula of angular momentum and solve as follows:

Lz=Iz=23MR2z=235.971024kg6.38106m22rad86,400s=7.071033kgm2/s

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth rotate around axis through the north and south is7.071033kgm2/s.
