Three uniform spheres are fixed at the positions shown in Fig. P13.43. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the force on a 0.0150-kg particle placed at P? (b) If the spheres are in deep outer space and a 0.0150-kg particle is released from rest 300 m from the origin along a line 45° below the x-axis, what will the particle’s speed be when it reaches the origin?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The resultant magnitude of the gravitational force is9.67×10-12N.
  2. The velocity of the particlewhen it reaches the origin is 3.02×10-5m/s..

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The mass of the particle placed at P is, m = 0.0150 kg
  • The angle at which the particle is aligned below x axis is,∠=45°
  • The mass of the sphere which is on x and y axis is,role="math" localid="1655806402339" mp=1kg
  • The distance of the particle from point P is, r = 0.50 m.
  • The mass of the sphere which is inclined at 45 degree is,min=2kg.

Concept/Significance of the gravitational force

Mass creates a Gravitational field. If some other particle with mass enters this field, it experiences a gravitational force. The gravitational field's intensity is a continuously varying spatially variable value at any position.

(a) Determination of  the magnitude and direction of the force on the particle placed at P

The gravitational force of the particle is given by,

Fg=Gmpmr2

Here,mpis the mass of the particle at x or y axis, G is the constant of gravitation whose value is6.673×10-11N.m2/kg2,m,m is the mass of the sphere, and r is the distance of the particle from P.

The net gravitational force will be in the direction of an angle of 45° from the x-axis, and the magnitude is given by,

FR=Gmmin2rr+mpr2

Substituting all the values in the above equation,

FR=6.673×10-11N.m2/kg2(0.0150kg)2kg2(0.50m)2+1kg(0.50m)2sin45°=9.67×10-12NThus,theresultantmagnitudeofthegravitationalforceis9.67×10-12N.

04

(b) Determination of the particle’s speed  when it reaches the origin

The kinetic energy of the particle is given by,

K.E=12mv2

Here, m is the mass of the particle and v is the velocity of the particle.

Potential energy of the particle is given by,

U=-Gmpmr

Here, G is the constant of gravitation whose value is 6.673×10-11N.m2/kg2,mp, is the mass of the particle, m is the mass of the sphere and r is the distance of particle from P.

12mv2=Gmpmr

The initial displacement is so large that the initial potential energy may be taken to be zero. Substituting the values in the above equation.

12mv2=6.673×10-11N.m2/kg2m2kg20.05m+1kg(0.50m)2v=2×6.673×10-11N.m2/kg22kg20.05m+1kg(0.50m)21kg.m/s1N=3.02×10-5m/sThus,thevelocityoftheparticlewhenitreachesitsoriginis3.02×10-5m/s.
