2. Two small (green) objects, each of mass m, are separated by a solid, massless rod of length L. They are located so that one of the objects is located at a distance of r away from the center of a uniform spherical planet with mass M (see figure). M r m L m Assume that m is very small so that you can ignore the gravitational force between the two small (green) objects. Is the rod being compressed, stretched, or neither? If compressed/stretched, calculate the magnitude of this deformation force on the rod. If neither, explain clearly why.

2 Two Small Green Objects Each Of Mass M Are Separated By A Solid Massless Rod Of Length L They Are Located So That One Of The Objects Is Located At A Distance class=

Sagot :

The rod is stretched due to the force of gravitational attraction.

The magnitude of the deformation force on the rod is  -GMm×((1/r² + 1/(L+r)²)

What is gravity?

The force of attraction felt by a person which is directed at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.

The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F = GMm/R²

Given are two small (green) objects, each of mass m, are separated by a solid, massless rod of length L. They are located so that one of the objects is located at a distance of r away from the center of a uniform spherical planet with mass M.  Assume that m is very small so that you can ignore the gravitational force between the two small (green) objects.

Let the mass closer to the planet is A and the other is B

FA = Force on planet A = -GMm/r²

FB = Force on planet B = -GMm/(L+r)²

Net Force on the rod is given by the addition of the individual forces.

Fnet= FA + FB = -GMm/r² -GMm/(L+r)²

Fnet = -GMm×((1/r² + 1/(L+r)²)

Thus,  the magnitude of the deformation force on the rod is derived above.

A experience more force than B, so A will stretch out from B. Hence the force is stretching the rod.
