A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 000 kg. Ii has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the Sun (Fig. P11.11). The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in accelerations grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)

Suppose you conduct an experiment and determine that g = 9.74 m/s² . If you assume that g = 9.81 m/s? at the surface of the earth, how far from the surface are you? Give your answer in units of Re, the radius of the Earth. (Re = 6378 km)
So let's consider a person with a mass of 51.0 kg standing on the Earth. To find the gravitational force on the person, we'll again use Newton's law of universal gravitation with the Earth as m2 and the radius of the Earth for the distance F = GmME RE2 . Now all we need to do is substitute values and calculate. We already said m = 51.0 kg, and we know G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 N · m2/kg2. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but, its average radius is RE = 6.37 ✕ 106 m. The mass of the Earth is ME = 5.97 ✕ 10−24 kg. We can then substitute these values in the following formula. (Enter your answer in N.) F = (6.67 ✕ 10−11 N · m2/kg2)(51.0 kg)(5.97 ✕ 1024 kg) (6.37 ✕ 106 m)2 (A) = _______ N Now let's compare this result to the person's weight (in N) found by multiplying the person's mass by g (or, that is, w = mg) where g = 9.80 m/s2. w = (51.0 kg)(9.80 m/s2) =(b) __________________ N You should have found that these two methods give about the same result!…
