Satellite Motion: A large telescope of mass 8410 kg is in a circular orbit around the earth, making one revolution every 927 minutes. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the earth? (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ? m2/kg2, Mearth = 6.0 × 1024 kg)
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
A 10-m uniform beam weighing 100 N is supported by two vertical ropes at its ends. If a 400-N person sits at a point 2.0 m from the left end of the beam, what is the force that each rope exerts on the beam?
What will be an ideal response?
