Problem No. 1:

How far from earth must a body be along a line toward the sun so that the gravitational
pull of the sun balances that of the earth? Earth to sun distance is 9.3 x 107 miles and
mass of sun is 3.24 x 105 x mass of earth. (Draw the diagram indicating all distances)
Ans. 1.63 x 105 miles from earth

x = 1.63 × 105 miles

Problem No 2:

Define a new temperature scale, say 0N, in which the boiling point freezing points of
water are 1000 0N and 100 0N, respectively at standard condition. Determine:
(a) 0 N and 0 C relationship & 0 N and 0 F relationship;
(b) The 0 N reading on this scale is a certain number of degrees on a corresponding
absolute temperature scale. What is the absolute temperature at 00N?
Ans. (a) 0N = 9(0C) + 100, (b) 2360 0N approx.
