Astar is transited by a planet. from the measured period t and the transit duration tdur alone, show that one can obtain an upper bound on the density of the transited star: p.,max 3r/(gr2) hint: combine kepler's law and eq. 6.7 to eliminate the separation a, and then extract the density of the spherical star. the upper bound is obtained by assuming an impact parameter b 0. a. b. suppose that from the transit light curve one can measure the total transit duration, tt, between the "first contact" and the "last contact" of the planet and the star, and also the duration of the "flat" part of the transit, t, during which the planet is fully superimposed on the star's disk. show that in this case, utilizing also the transit depth (eq. 6.6), b can be determined, and hence the star's density (and not just upper bound) can be found.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
