A chord of length 64m is used to connect a 100 kg astronaut to a spaceship whose mass is much larger than the that of the astronaut. Estimate the value of tension in the cord. Assume that the spacehip is orbiting near the earth surface. Also assume that the spaceship and hte astronaut fall on strainght line from the earth's centre. The radius of he earth 6400km.

A cord of length 4 m is used to connect a 100 kg astronaut to spaceship whose mass is much larger than that of the astronaut. Estimat the value of the tension in the cord. Assume that the spaceship is orbiting near earth surface. A ssume that the spaceship and th eastronaut fall on a straight line from the earth centre. The radius of the earth is 6400 km.

(a) Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform density, calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity at a point, 1600 km above the earth, (b) Also find the rate of variation of acceleration due to gravity above the earth's surface. Radius of earth =6400 km, g =9.8 m//s^(2) .

A spaceship is orbiting the earth in a circular orbit at a height equal to radius of the earth (R_(c) = 6400 km) from the surface of the earth. An astronaut is on a space walk outside the spaceship. He is at a distance of l = 200 m from the ship and is connected to it with a simple cable which can sustain a maximum tension of10 N. Assume that the centre of the earth, the spaceship and the astronaut are in a line. Mass of astronaut along with all his accessories is 100 kg. Do you think that a weak cable that can only take a load of 10 N, can prevent him from drifting in space ? Make a guess. Estimate the tension in the cable. [Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of [ Earth =9.8m//s^(2) ]

An astronaut orbiting in a spaceship round the earth has a centripetal acceleration of 2.45 m//s^(2) . The height of spaceship from earth's surface is ( R =radius of earth)
