Treat the Earth as if it were a perfect sphere of radiusR. Suppose that you are on the topof a tower of heighthabove the surface of the Earth. Show that distance along the Earth thatyou see from your vantage point to the horizon iss=√2Rh. Hint: Show thath/R=1cosθ−1,whereθis the subtended angle from your vantage point to the horizon and the arclength alongthe Earth iss=Rθ. Solveθby expanding these expressions as necessary.

2. One assumption that Eratosthenes made was that the earth was a perfect sphere. What are 5 other assumptions critical to this calculation? Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician who lived 276-194 BC. At summer solstice he waited until noon, when the sun was directly overhead in Aswan. He placed a gnomon (basically a stick) at the bottom of the well at 90° to the ground, and noticed that it cast no shadow. Then at the same time he had others...

BOX 5.1 The Polar Coordinate Basis Consider ordinary polar coordinates r and 0 (see figure 5.3). Note that the distance between two points with the same r coordinate but separated by an infinitesimal step do in 0 is r do (by the definition of angle). So there are (at least) two ways to define a basis vector for the direction (which we define to be tangent to the r = constant curve): (1) we could define a basis vector es...

Sorry this problem has so many
parts--thank you in advance for your effort.
Conservative Forces It takes work to lift an object under the influence of the Earth's gravitational force. This increases the gravitational potential energy of the object. Lowering the ob- ject releases the gravitational potential energy that was stored when it was lifted. When you studied the gravitational force, you applied the term conservative to it because it allows the recovery of all of the stored energy. You...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq.
