(5 points If the solar system were imbedded in a uniform dust cloud of density ρ, what would be the 0.. force Part on ( a planet a distance r from the center of the Sun? The function f (t is an odd function, therefore we only need to evaluate b n terms.

Part ( When the system is driven by the above periodic square wave of amplitude F 0, the steady state response is the sum to the response of each harmonic in the Fourier series expansion of the forcing function. Since the steady state response of a second order system to F n sin (nt is given by y n (t F n /m ( 0 (n sin (nt + δ n + 4λ n (n Where the phase δ n is defined as δ n tan λ (n 0 (n Then the steady state response to f (t n,,5, F0 4 sin (nt is given by y ss (t n,,5, 4F 0 πm 4 n,,5, F 0 /m ( 0 (n sin (nt + δ n ( + 4λ (n n sin (nt + δ n ( 0 (n + 4λ (n Looking at the first three responses gives y ss (t 4F 0 sin (t + δ + sin (t + δ πm (0 + 4λ ( 0 ( + + 4λ ( ( We are told that 0 or 0 and in addition, using using Q 0 λ 00 0 λ λ 0 00 Using this λ and given value of then the phase δ n becomes δ n tan λ (n 0 (n tan ( 0 00 ( n 0 0 ( n 0 tan n 00n sin (5t + δ 5 ( 0 ( λ (5 we find 7

In particular, findtherelativeamplitudesofthefirstthreeterms, A, A, anda 5, oftheresponsefunction x(t in the case that the third harmonic of the driving frequency coincides with the frequency 0 of the undamped oscillator. Assume a quality factor of Q Problem. (5 points If the solar system were imbedded in a uniform dust cloud of density ρ, what would be the force on a planet a distance r from the center of the Sun? SOLUTION:...continued on next page... dust cloud ρ solar system M s, R s sun r m planet The total force on the planet m is due to the mass inside the region centered at the center of the sun. The mass outside can be ignored since its effect cancels out. Let the radius of the sun be R sun, then the total mass that pulls the planet toward the center of the solar system is given by The force on the planet is therefore M total M sun + 4 π ( r R sun ρ F GM totalm ˆr r G ( M sun + 4π (r Rsun ρ m ˆr r Where ˆr is a unit vector pointing from the sun towards the planet m and G is the gravitational constant and ρ is the cloud density. 9

( Show that the radius for a circular orbit of a synchronous (4-h Earth satellite is about 6.6 Earth radii. ( The distance to the Moon is about 60. Earth radii. From this, calculate the length of the sidereal month (the period of the Moon s orbital revolution. SOLUTION: 5.

Find f(r if all circular orbits are to have identical The force areal onvelocities. the satellite is mr e where r e is taken as the earth radius since this is low-lying orbit. Therefore ( The orbit of a particle moving in a central field is a circle passing through the origin, r r 0 cos(θ.

Hence v r e r e and the above becomes GM e r e r e v r e GMe v r e ( ( meter/sec 7.9 km/sec 0.4. Part ( Let the radius of the satellite orbit be r. Using GM e m mr r ( GMe r 0

(5 points ( A particle is subject to an attractive force f(r, where r is the distance between the particle and the center of the force. Find f(r if all circular orbits are to have identical areal velocities. ( The orbit of a particle moving in a central field is a circle passing through the origin, r r 0 cos(θ. Show that the force law is inverse-fifth power. SOLUTION: 0.5. Part( θ r ds A ( θ r m θ r m ds ( θ A r From the above diagram, where we have two particles of same mass m in two circular orbits. The area of each sector is given by The time rate of each sector area is Similarly A θ r da dt da dt θ r ( θ r ( Since we have a central force, then this force attracts each mass with a force given by f mr θ. Therefore f r mr θ, Similarly f r mr θ. Substituting for θ from these expressions back into ( and ( gives da f r (B dt mr Similarly da dt f r mr (B

14 We are told the areal speeds are the same, therefore equating the above gives da dt f mr r da dt f r mr f r 4 mr 4 f r mr 4 f r f r Hence f r r f r r This says that, since we using the same mass, that the force f (r on a mass is inversely proportional to the cube of the mass distance from the center. To see this more clearly, let r then f r r f r So if we move the mass from r to say times as far to r, then the force on the same mass becomes smaller than it was Part( The orbit first is plotted as follows Clear[r0, r] r0 ; r[angle_] : r0 Cos[angle] xydata Table[{r[a] Cos[a], r[a] Sin[a]}, {a, 0, Pi,.}]; ListLinePlot[xyData, GridLines -> Automatic, GridLinesStyle -> LightGray, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, AxesLabel -> {x, y}, BaseStyle -> 4, PlotTheme -> "Classic", AspectRatio -> Automatic] Which produces the following plot y Out[7] x
