Calculate the gravitation force of attraction between two planets of \(10^{24}\)kg and \(10^{27}\)kg separated by a distance of \(10^{20}\)meters
A
6.67N
B
6.56N
C
7.5N
D
8.6N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
F = \(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}\)
\(M_1 = 10^{24}\)Kg, \(M_2 = 10^{27}\)Kg , r = \(10^{20}\)meters
(Note: the gravitational constant of G = \(6.67408\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2\))
F = \(\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{– 11 + 24 + 27})}{ 10^{40}} = 6.67 \times \frac{10^{40}}{10^{40}}\)
= 6.67N
f = 6.67N

Solution
What is the relationship mechanical advantage (MA) velocity Ratio (V.R) and efficiency with percentage?
A
e = M.A/V.R × 100 %
B
M.A = E.V.R
C
V.R = 1 ÷ sin θ M.A
D
M.A = 1/E × 100%
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
he relationship between M.A, V.R, e and 100% can be written as
e = M.A/V.R × 100 %
i.e E/100 = M.A/V.R
= L ÷ E/x ÷ y = Ly/Ex
E/100 = Ly/Ex

Solution
At what respective value of a, b, and c would the unit of work, the joule, be dimensionally similar to Ma Lb Tc?
A
1, – 2, 1
B
1, 2, – 2
C
1, 1, –2
D
2, 2, 1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Work (w) = Force (f) × Distance (d)
Note: f = ma = mass × acceleration
= mass ×acceleration ×distance
= kg ×ms–2 × m
= kg m2 5–2
(Note: the dimension of kg = M, M = L & S = T)
Work = ML2 T–2 = Ma Lb Tc
i.e. Ma Lb Tc = as 1, b = 2, c = –2
The value of a, band c = 1, 2, –2
