Problem 16
Work against the force of gravity. Suppose a 3 kilogram mass instrument is lifted 20,000 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, the force acting on it is not constant throughout the motion. See Figure 9.14. The acceleration of gravity may be computed for a distance \(x\) above the Earth as Acceleration of gravity at altitude \(x=9.8 \times \frac{R^{2}}{(R+x)^{2}}\) where \(R \doteq 6,370\) kilometers is the radius of the Earth. We partition the interval [0,20,000] into 4 equal subintervals and assume the acceleration of gravity to be constant on each of the subintervals. The work to lift the instrument the first 5000 kilometers is approximately $$ 5.05 \times 3 \times 5000=75814 \quad \text { Newton-meters } $$ a. Approximate the total work to lift the instrument to \(20,000 \mathrm{~km}\). b. Approximate the total work done to lift the \(3 \mathrm{~kg}\) instrument \(40,000 \mathrm{~km}\). (You already know the work required to lift it \(20,000 \mathrm{~km} .)\) c. Approximate the total work done to lift the \(3 \mathrm{~kg}\) instrument \(100,000 \mathrm{~km}\). It is a very interesting question as to whether the instrument can 'escape from the Earth's gravity field' with a finite amount of work. We will return to the question in Section 11.5.1, Escape Velocity.
