    Invertible Matrices and Rank 1 Matrices: Understanding Linear Transpose

    Homework Statement I have an idea on how to part 1, but I have no clue on how to do part 2 and 3. 1.Suppose A is invertible. Check that (A-1)TAT=I and AT(A-1)T=I, and deduce that AT is likewise invertible with inverse (A-1)T. 2. Suppose A is an mxn matrix with rank 1. Prove that there...

    Finding Earth's Mass Using Gauss Law

    This was the entire question Consider a closed surface S in a region of gravitational field g. Gauss’s law for gravitation tells us that the gravitational flux through surface S is linearly proportional to the total mass min occupying the volume contained by S. More specifically, Gauss’s law...

    Finding Earth's Mass Using Gauss Law

    Is it possible to find the mass of the Earth based on the Earth's volume mass density, roe = A-Br=R, where A = 1.42 x 104 kg/m3, B = 1.16 x 104 kg/m3, and Earth’s radius R = 6.370 x 106 m I know that based on Gauss Law that (closed integral) g x da = -4Gmin, where g is the total electric...
