Assuming that the gravitational acceleration inside a homogeneous spherical shell is zero, show that the gravitational acceleration inside a homogenous uniform solid sphere is proportional to the distance from its center.
IIISuppose a large spherical object, such as a planet, with radius R and mass M has a narrow tunnel passing diametrically through it. A particle of mass m is inside the tunnel at a distance x less than or equal to R from thecenter. It can be shown that the net gravitational force on the particlei sdue entirely to the sphere of mass with radius r ≤ ;x there is no netgravitational force from the mass in the spherical shell with r > .x a. Find an expression for the gravitational force on the particle,assuming the object has uniform density. Your expression willbe in terms of ,x R, m, M, and any necessary constants.b. You should have found that the gravitational force is a linear restoring force. Consequently, in the absence ofair resistance, objects in the tunnel will oscillate with SHM. Suppose an in- trepid astronaut exploring a 150-km-diameter, 3.5 X 1 0 kgasteroid discovers a tunnel through the center. If she jumps into the hole, how long will ti take her to fall all the way…
10-13. Refer to Example 10.3 concerning the deflection from the plumb line of a particle falling in Earth's gravitational field. Take g to be defined at ground level and use the zeroth order result for the time-of-fall, T= V2h/g. Perform a calculation in second approximation (i.e., retain terms in w?) and calculate the southerly deflec- tion. There are three components to consider: (a) Coriolis force to second order (C), (b) variation of centrifugal force with height (C2), and (c) variation of gravi- tational force with height (Cs). Show that each of these components gives a result equal to h2 o sin A cos A with C 2/3, C2 5/6, and Cs = 5/2. The total southerly deflection is therefore (4h-w² sin A cos A)/g. to
