Model the Moons orbit around the Earth as an ellipse with the Earth at one focus. The Moons farthest distance (apogee) from the center of the Earth is rA = 4.05 108 m, and its closest distance (perigee) is rP = 3.63 108 m. a. Calculate the semimajor axis of the Moons orbit. b. How far is the Earth from the center of the Moons elliptical orbit? c. Use a scale such as 1 cm 108 m to sketch the EarthMoon system at apogee and at perigee and the Moons orbit. (The semiminor axis of the Moons orbit is roughly b = 3.84 108 m.)
Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force.

Assuming that the Earth has a uniform density ?=5540.0 kg/m^3, what is the value of the gravitational acceleration ?? at a distance ?=5900.0 km from the Earth's center?
Suppose the surface (radius = r) of a cylindrical space station is rotating at 22.4 m/s to provide artificial gravity. What must be the value of r for the astronauts to weigh 1/6 of their earth weight?
It is proposed that future space stations create an artificial gravity by rotating. Suppose a space station is constructed as a 1400-m-diameter cylinder that rotates about its axis. The inside surface is the deck of the space station. What rotation period will provide "normal" gravity?

A space station has a ring with a radius of 350 meters, which rotates with a velocity which gives a person on the ring an apparent gravity of 1g (9.80m/s^2). With what radius must a second ring be built if it is supposed to simulate the gravity of Mars (0.375g)?
Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 1057 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal, that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity? Express your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Two uniform spheres are positioned as shown. Determine the gravitational force F which the titanium sphere exerts on the copper sphere. The value of R is 30 mm. Assume a = 5.0, b = 2.9, θ=30°. Calculate the mass of each sphere.
Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which would allow astronauts to experience a sort of artificial gravity when walking along the inner wall of the station's outer rim. Imagine one such station with a diameter of 126 m, where the apparent gravity is 3.90 m/s2 at the outer rim. How fast is the station rotating in revolutions per minute? What If? How fast would the space station have to rotate, in revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity that is produced to equal that at the surface of the Earth, 9.80 m/s2?
