- Your partner wants to test your Physics skills by playing a treasure hunt that will lead you to your anniversary gift from them. They left this sole clue that would lead you to the surprise: "Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure." - Rumi. I know you've been wanting to practice your Physics so I chose something that might help you. Use these clues to find your gift. Grab your phone and open your compass. Go to the park entrance and face the north direction. Then, walk straight ahead towards the first bench you see, about 70 meters from the entrance. Face east then turn as you count about 63 º degrees towards the north direction and you'll see a tree with a birdhouse near the bank of the river, just about 307 meters from the bench. Go there.

- The figure shows, not to scale, a cross section through the interior of Earth. Rather than being uniform throughout, Earth is divided into three zones: an outer crust, a mantle, and an inner core. The dimensions of these zones and the masses contained within them are shown on the figure. Earth has a total mass of 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6370 km. Ignore rotation and assume that Earth is spherical. (a) Calculate ag at the surface. (b) Suppose that a bore hole (the Mohole) is driven to the crust-mantle interface at a depth of 25.0 km; what would be the value of ag at the bottom of the hole? (c) Suppose that Earth were a uniform sphere with the same total mass and size. What would be the value of ag at a depth of 25.0 km? (Precise measurements of ag are sensitive probes of the interior structure of Earth, although results can be clouded by local variations in mass distribution.) 6345 km (a) Number (b) Number 25 km Number i 3490 km -Core, 1.93 x 1024 kg Mantle, 4.01 × 1024 kg Crust,…arrow_forwardCrude oil is trapped in a particular rock.
