Solve Very Tough Question: Debunk Astrologists' Belief with Average Mass of 60kg

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a challenging problem posed by a teacher, which requires debunking the belief that planets influence human lives through gravitational forces. Participants are tasked with calculating the maximum gravitational force exerted on an average human (60 kg) by all planets in the solar system, excluding Earth. To solve the problem, one must determine the closest distances of each planet to Earth and apply Newton's law of gravitation using the relevant mass and distance values. The calculation involves assuming optimal alignment of the planets to find the gravitational force acting on the individual. Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate that the gravitational influence of planets on humans is negligible.

Very tough Question !

Ok so ... My teacher has given us a problem to solve for bonus marks and it is a really tough question. I also really need these bonus marks if i want to get anywhere =]. Anyways here is the question

Astrologists believe that the planets in our solar system influence the lives of people here on Earth via their gravitational forces. Your task is to debunk this myth. Consider an average human being with an average mass (say 60kg) Calculate the maximum gravitational force exerted on this average person by all of the planets in the solar system (other than Earth of course ((*reminder to myself that the sun is not a planet))). Use the data on page 271 of your textbook for your calculation

Ok. How would i go on about solving this equation, what things must i know and what diagrams must i draw.

You must know the distances of orbits of all planets from earth. take a point in the orbit of every planet such that it isclosest to earth. you must know, what is the distance from centre of these planets at that point. itheink you got somewhata picture. now work out
 
Use the equation for Newton's law of gravitation. Plug in the values of mass from your tables with 60kg as the person's mass. You can assume the closest possible distance to the Earth of each planet (i.e. suppose the planets were all aligned, then distance from Earth to Mars would be radius of orbit of Mars subtract radius of orbit of Earth).

You should then be able to find the gravitational force of each planet acting on a 60kg human. What order do you expect this number to be?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
