a) r₁ = 3.4565 10⁸ m , b) $H_{m}$ = 3.661 10⁷ m , c) $H_{e}$ = 3.39 10⁸ m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where the forces are of gravitational attraction

F = G m M / r²

Let's locate the point where the forces are equal and from here we know which way they are greater

F₁ - F₂ = 0

F₁ is the force of attraction from Earth and F₂ the force of attraction from the Moon, let's use the subscript "e" for the Earth and the subscript "m" for the Moon

G m $M_{e}$ / r₁² = G m $M_{m}$ / r₂²

$M_{e}$ / $M_{m}$ = (r₁ / r₂)²

Let's measure the distance from the same reference system, which we will place in the center of the Earth

r₁ = r₁

r₂ = D - r₁

Where D is the distance from beats to the Moon, substitute

r₁ / D-r₁ = √ $M_{e}$ / $M_{m}$

r₁ / D-r₁ = √ (5.98 1024 / 7.36 1022) = 9.0139

r₁ = 9.0139 (D -r₁)

r₁ (1+ 9.0139) = 9.0139 D

r₁ = 9.0139 / 10.0139 D

r₁ = 0.9001 3.84 10⁸

r₁ = 3.4565 10⁸ m

It is this point sides forces are equal for greater distances the force of the moon exceeds the attraction of the Earth

b) The radius of the moon is

$R_{m}$ = 1.74 10⁶ m

The distance measured from the Moon is

r₂ = D -r₁

r₂ = 3.84 108 - 3.4565 108

r₂ = 0.3835 108 m

r₂ = 3.835 107 m

The distance r₂ is measured from the center of the Moon, the distance measured from the surface is

$H_{m}$ = r₂ - $R_{m}$

$H_{m}$ = 3.835 10⁷ - 1.74 10⁶

$H_{m}$ = 3.661 10⁷ m

c) The distance from the Earth's surface is

$H_{e}$ = r1 - $R_{e}$

$H_{e}$ = 3.4565 10⁸ - 6.37 10⁶

$H_{e}$ = 3.39 10⁸ m

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
