Explanation:
g = GM / R²
9.77 m/s² = GM / (6.38×10⁶ m + 8848 m)²
GM = 3.99×10¹⁴ m³/s²
At the surface of the earth:
g = GM / R²
g = (3.99×10¹⁴ m³/s²) / (6.38×10⁶ m)²
g = 9.80 m/s²
At the top of Mount Everest, the weight of a 50 kg object is:
F = mg
F = (50 kg) (9.77 m/s²)
F = 489 N
Torque,
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of turns in a circular coil, N = 400
Radius of the circular coil, r = 0.65 cm
Current in the coil, I = 1.2 mA
Uniform magnetic field in the circular coil, B = 0.2 T
Torque in the circular coil is given by :
For maximum torque,
So, the net torque about the vertical axis is . Hence, this is the required solution.
