- You encounter a strange cosmic string in outer space. The string extends along the x axis from x = 0 m to x = 4.6 x 104 m. You are located at x = -5.4 x 104 m. You experience a gravitational field equal to 9.6 x 10-6 N/kg at this location. Assuming the string has a constant linear mass density, calculate this linear mass density, in units of 105kg/m. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)arrow_forward1. On a planet whose radius is 1.5 × 107 m, the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s².

- The gravitational force of attraction between any two point masses is attractive and the magnitude: Gm₂m₂ G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m² kg² F= where G is the gravitation constant, m, and m₂ are the masses, and r is the distance between the masses. This is quite different from the force of gravity that we have been using, where weight = mg. 1. Acceleration due to gravity: a. Lett one mass be the Earth and the other mass m is let go just above the surface of the Earth. Calculate the value of the acceleration due to gravity using Newton's law of gravitation. The net effect of the Earth's gravity is the same as if the all the mass of the Earth were concentrated at its center. b. The F-22 Raptor fighter jet has a service ceiling of 12 miles or 20 km.
