- To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.105-kg ball from the end of a wire. The wire has a length of 1.74 m and a linear density of 3.02 × 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value of 0.0653 s. The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.arrow_forward6. Find the angular momentum of Earth around the Sun.
