Answer to Problem 21P

The maximum value of angular speed of sun is 6.28×104 rad/s .

The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is 2.78 h .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Universal gravitational constant, G=6.673×1011Nm2/kg2

Radius of the sun, R=6.96×108m

Measured angular momentum value of the sun, Lsun=1.91×1041kg.m2/s

Moment of inertia for a sphere about axis through its center, I=0.059MR2

Time period of sun is

  Tsun=30days=(30days)(24h1day)(3600s1h)=2.59×106s

Formula used:

The gravitational attraction force on mass m is given by Fg=GMSunmR2 .

The centripetal force on the mass m is FC=mω2R

Here R is the radius of the Sun and MSun is the mass of the Sun.

Calculation:

The above two forces are equal in magnitude, but to estimate maximum angular speed, we must use inequality as below:

  mω2R<GMSunmR2ω2<GMSunR3ω<GMSunR3

The maximum value of angular speed of sun is

  ω<GMSunR3=(6.673×10-11N.m2/kg2)(1.99×1030kg)(6.96×108m)3=6.28×104rad/s

The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is

  Tmax=2πω=2(3.14)6.28×104rad/s=(1.0×104s)(1h3600s)=2.78h

Conclusion:

The maximum value of angular speed of sun is 6.28×104 rad/s .

The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is 2.78 h .

Answer to Problem 21P

The angular momentum of the jupiter is 1.93×1043 kgm2/s

The angular momentum of Saturn is 7.85×1042kgm2/s

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Mean distance of the Jupiter is RJ=778×109m .

Mean distance of the Saturn is RS=1430×109m

Orbital time period of Jupiter is

  TJ=11.9y=(11.9y)(365days1y)(24h1day)(3600s1h)=3.75×108s

Orbital time period of Saturn is

  TS=29.5y=(29.5y)(365days1y)(24h1day)(3600s1h)=9.30×108s

Formula Used:

Angular momentum of the Jupiter, LJ=MJRJvJ

Here, the linear velocity of the Jupiter, vJ=2πrJTJ

Calculation:

The angular momentum of the Jupiter is

  LJ=MJRJvJ=(MJRJ)(2πRJTJ)=2πMJRJ2TJ..........(1)

By substituting all known numerical values in the equation (1) , calculate the angular momentum of the Jupiter is

  LJ=2πMJRJ2TJ=2(3.14)(318)(5.98×1024kg)(778×109m)23.75×108s=1.93×1043 kgm2/s

Similarly, the angular momentum of the Saturn is

  LS=2πMSRS2TS=2(3.14)(95.1)(5.98×1024kg)(1430×109m)29.30×108s=7.85×1042 kgm2/s

Consider the ratio,

  LSumLJ+LS=1.91×1041kg.m2/s1.93×1043kg.m2/s+7.85×1042kg.m2/s=0.00703=0.703%

Conclusion:

The angular momentum of the jupiter is 1.93×1043 kgm2/s .

The angular momentum of Saturn is 7.85×1042 kgm2/s .

The ratio is 0.00703.

Answer to Problem 21P

The sun new rotational speed is 4.798×104 rad/s .

The ratio of time period of sun with the result in part (a) is 1.305 .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Mean distance of the Jupiter is RJ=778×109m .

Mean distance of the Saturn is RS=1430×109m

Time period of sun is

  Tsun=30days=(30days)(24h1day)(3600s1h)=2.59×106s

Formula Used:

The gravitational attraction force on mass m is given by Fg=GMSunmR2 .

The centripetal force on the mass m is FC=mω2R .

Here, R is the radius of the Sun and Msun is the mass of the Sun.

Calculation:

The final angular momentum of sun is

  LSunr=LSuni+LJ+LSISunωf=ISunωi+LJ+LSωf=ωi+LJ+LSISun......(2)=2πTSun+LJ+LSISun

Substitute all known numerical values in the equation (2) :

The sun new rotational speed is:

  ωf=2πTSun+LJ+LSISun=2(3.14)2.59×106s+1.93×1043kgm2/s+7.85×1042kgm2/s(0.059)(1.99×1030kg)(6.96×108m)2=4.798×104rad/s

The corresponding time period of the sun is

  TfSun=2πωf=2(3.14)4.798×10-4rad/s=(1.308×104s)(1h3600s)=3.63h

By comparing this time period of Sun with result in part (a)

  TfSunTmax=3.63h2.78h=1.305

Conclusion:

The sun new rotational speed is 4.798×104 rad/s .

The ratio of time period of sun with the result in part (a) is 1.305 .
