2.
The gravitational attraction force between bodies of mass m1 and mass m2 and when a mass of
m is moved from the Earths surface to the height of h we can write the change in gravitational
potential energy as:
F=
G
m1
m2
and
R2
P.E =
GmMh
R(R+h)
Where G is a constant = 6.67 10 11 N m2/kg2, M, mass of earth = 6.0 1024 kg and R, radius
of earth = 6300 km.
a)
Calculate gravitational force between two masses of 2 kg and 5 kg respectively,
b)
Measure a distance form mass 2 kg where the attraction due to two forces is zero.
c)
The earth is taken to be a one of the body, find gravitational force acting on mass of 2
kg on the surface of earth
d)
Estimate the change gravitational energy when 2 kg is moved through 100 m,

3.
Using a drill machine it takes 250 s to make a hole in a piece of brass of mass 0.65 kg. Given
that the average power delivered to the drill from the mains is 300 W.
Also given that 80% of the energy supplied to the drill is used up to raise the temperature of the
brass and specific heat capacity of brass is 390 J / (kg K).
a)
Calculate how much energy is used in drilling the hole initially?
b)
Estimate the initial rate of temperature rise.
c)
Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / (kg K), what amount of water would have 10
degree rise in temperature if same amount of energy used up at a)?
d)
Estimate the time required if same amount of water would be heated to same
temperature difference by 3.0 kW heater.
