Find the force of repulsion if Chase throws his mechanics book in disgust in a radial orbit given by r(θ) = λ·θ4, where λ > 0. Does the orbit obey Kepler's laws? If Chase supplies a gravitational potential to the book, what must be the centrifugal potential? Suppose Dr. Washburn stands a distance R from Chase with mass M. Will the book enter ( Read more... )
