The acceleration due to gravity becomes weaker by about three parts in ten million for each meter of increased elevation above the Earth's surface. Suppose a skyscraper is 100 stories tall, with the same floor plan for each story and with uniform average density.

Choose one: (a) Its center of mass is higher by a distance of several meters, (b) Its center of mass is higher by a distance of several millimeters, (c) Its center of mass and its center of gravity are in the same location, (d) Its center of gravity is higher by a distance of several millimeters, (e) Its center of gravity is higher by a distance of several meters.
TV broadcast antennas are the tallest artificial structures on Earth. In 1987, a 72.0-kg physicist placed himself and 400 kg of equipment at the top of one 610-m high antenna to perform gravity experiments.

ANSWER TRUE OR FALSE IN ALL ITEMS IF NOT ANSWER 7 TO 10 1. When a body is in equilibrium, the acceleration of the body is zero. 2. A mechanical system is defined as a body or group of bodies which can be conceptually isolated from all other bodies. 3. Free body diagram is a diagrammatic representation of the isolated system treated as a multiple body. 4. The free-body diagram is the not important step in the solution of problems in mechanics. 5. Forces can be applied either by direct physical contact or by remote action. 6. Application of force is accompanied by reactive force, and both applied and reactive forces may be either concentrated or distributed. 7. The principle of transmissibility permits the treatment of force as a sliding vector as its external effects on the rigid body are concerned. 8. Force exerted by a flexible cable is always a tension towards the body in the direction of the cable. 9. When the smooth surfaces of two bodies are in contact, the force exerted by one…
