In the first decade of the 20th century Jean Perrin carried out important investigations on the sedimentation, in the gravitational field, of particles of gamboges, mastic, and other paint pigments. Consider particles of density 1.2 g.cm­-3 and of the following radii: (a) 1 mm, (b) 10 \muμm, and (c) 10 nm. In each case, assuming Stokes’s law to apply, estimate the distance the particle would sediment in 1 hour, in water at 20oC (\etaη = 1.002 x 10-3 kg.m-1.s-1 and ρ = 0.998 g.cm-3). Which of the particles would have the longest sedimentation distance? Which of them would have the shortest sedimentation distance?
A solid copper sphere of mass M and radius R has a cavity of radius ½ R. Inside the cavity a particle of mass m placed a distance d > R from the center of the sphere along the line connecting the centers of the sphere and the cavity. Find the gravitational force on m.
With density Y1(unit: kg/m), 3 endless wires are just above the x,y,z axes. Find the gravitational field at (x,y,z) position. NOTE: Give your answer in terms of (x,y,z, ^x, ^y, ^z(unit vectors), G, Y1) A hint is given in the figure.
