The gravitational force on a point mass m due to a point mass m at the origin is a gradient field with potential u(r)= (gmm)/r , where g is the gravitational constant and r = (x^2 + y^2 + x^2)^(1/2) is the distance between the masses a. find the components of the gravitational force in the x-, y-, and z-directions, where f(x, y,z) = -gradientu(x, y,z) b. show that the gravitational force points in the radial direction (outward from point mass m) and the radial component is f(r) = (gmm)/(r^2) c. show that the vector field is orthogonal to the equipotential surfaces at all points in the domain of u

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .

Acommercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°c by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°c at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°c. the refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 mpa and 50°c. if the compressor consumes 3.3 kw of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the cop, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.
