Chapter 3, Problem 4PP

The gravitational attractive force between two bodies with masses m 1 and m 2 separated by a distance d is given by the following formula:

F = G m 1 m 2 d 2

where G is the universal gravitational constant:

G = 6.673 × 10 8 cm 3 / ( g sec 2 )

Write a function definition that takes arguments for the masses of two bodies and the distance between them and returns the gravitational force between them.

Since you will use the previous formula, the gravitational force will be in dynes. One dyne equals a

g cm / sec 2

You should use a globally defined constant for the universal gravitational constant. Embed your function definition in a complete program that computes the gravitational force between two objects given suitable inputs. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

Find the minimum product of sums for the following function. Each drop down menu has a number of choices. You must select an answer from each drop down menu. The choices include possible terms in the function. Another choice is "none", and should be used when none of the terms from that drop down menu are needed for the minimum solution. Finally, the choice "two or more" should be selected if more than one of the possible terms appearing in that drop down menu are required for the solution. There are too many possible 3 and 4 literal terms for automatic checking, so just select how many of them are required. f(a,b,c,d) = m(0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13) + Σd(8, 14) Terms involving a and b: [Select] Terms involving a and c: [Select] Terms involving a and d: [Select] Terms involving b and c: [Select] Terms involving b and d: [Select] Terms involving c and d: [Select] Terms involving 3 literals: [Select] Terms involving 4 literals: [Select] > >
