33. If you are at the top of a tower of height h above the surface of the earth, show that the distance you can see along the surface of the earth is approximately s = v2Rh, where R is the radius of the earth. Hints: See figure. Show that h/R = sec 0 – 1; find two terms of the series for sec 0 = 1/ cos 0, and use s = RO. _Thus show that the distance in miles is approximately v3h/2 with h in feet. Rİ
A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 12 AU and takes 117 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of the star. State your answer with appropriate mks units. [NOTE: AU ..stands.for...astronomical unit". It is the average distance between Earth & the Sun. 1 AU≈ 1.496 x 1011 m.] Enter a number with units. I be quite large and your calculator will display the answer as a power of 10. If, as an example, your answer was 8.54 x 1056, you would type "8.54e56" into the answer box (remember to state your units with your answer).]

BACKGROUND An ingenious solution to the Earth's circumference occured in 230 BC. Eratosthenes, a Greek geographer, mathematician, music theorist, poet, astronomer, and philosopher, was reading in the Library of Alexandria when he noticed an account for a deep well near Syene (now Aswan), some distance to the south (800 km) in which at high noon on the longest day of the year the bottom of the well was fully illuminated by the Sun. Eratosthenes exclaimed "Ah-ah!" (or something like that), "I can solve for the circumference of the Earth!". In his mind's eye, Eratosthenes could see that at Syene, at the moment when the bottom of the well was fully lit, the Sun must have been at the Zenith (directly overhead). Yet he knew that at the same moment in Alexandria vertical objects (like a tower, pole) cast shadows. Here is the experiment perfomed by Eratosthenes (see the picture below). • He erected a vertical pole at Alexandria (A) and measured the angle of its shadow at the moment when the…
