Problem • 4. [CJ5 4.P.025.] The mass of a robot is 5450 kg. This robot weighs 3620 N more on planet A than it does on planet B. Both planets have the same radius of 1.33x107 m. • What is the difference MA - MB in the masses of these planets?
Setup • Ma = Mass of planet A = ? • Mb = Mass of planet B = ? • Ra = Radius of planet A = 1.33x107 m • Rb = Radius of planet B = 1.33x107 m • Mr = Mass of robot = 5450 kg • Wa = Weight of robot on planet A = Wb + 3620 N • Wb = Weight of robot on planet B = ? • Equations:
Solution Set the weights of the robot equal to each other: Plug in the given values:
