The figure shows, not to scale, a cross section through the interior of Earth. Rather than being uniform throughout, Earth is divided into three zones: an outer crust, a mantle, and an inner core. The dimensions of these zones and the masses contained within them are shown on the figure. Earth has a total mass of 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6370 km. Ignore rotation and assume that Earth is spherical. (a) Calculate ag at the surface. (b) Suppose that a bore hole (the Mohole) is driven to the crust-mantle interface at a depth of 25.0 km; what would be the value of ag at the bottom of the hole? (c) Suppose that Earth were a uniform sphere with the same total mass and size. What would be the value of ag at a depth of 25.0 km? (Precise measurements of ag are sensitive probes of the interior structure of Earth, although results can be clouded by local variations in mass distribution.) 6345 km (a) Number (b) Number 25 km Number i 3490 km -Core, 1.93 x 1024 kg Mantle, 4.01 × 1024 kg Crust,…

2. Show that the divergence of the geostrophic wind is – v,(cot $)/a if the variations in fwith latitude are accounted for (i.e., use the full definition of the Coriolis parameter f = 2.0 sin p). To derive this relationship, recall that on a spherical planet, the distance north is y = aø, where ø is latitude (in radians) and a is the radius of Earth (6,370,000 m). Thus, a derivative in y can be expressed as a derivative in latitude o via the following relationship: a 1 a ду а дф
