To find: The value of acceleration due to gravity at equator of Jupiter.
Answer to Problem 80GP
Explanation of Solution
Given Data:
and
Formula Used:
An object moving in a circular path at constant speed the net force must point to the center of the
circle, thus he acceleration due to gravity
Apply the Newton laws by choosing the inward direction as positive, thus the net force is
Rewrite the above equation.
From equation (1), acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Jupiter is
Thus, the normal force is
The linear speed of the person on the planet is
The perceived acceleration at the equator is given as,
Calculation:
Substituting the values
In term of
Conclusion:
Therefore, the acceleration experienced by a person at the equator of the Jupiter planet is
