you want derivation? its kepler's law tho
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
its arc length not area i dont recall which law of kepler had arc length
SIMPle Potato

whats the area swept law tell crow?
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
in equal time equal area is swept dA/dt = L/2m
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
whats dA here tell crow
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
infinitesmally small area
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
dA = 1/2 r^2 d(theta) agree?
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
wasnt it dt instead of dtheta

ara bhai area of a sector
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
areal velocity= mvr/2m=vr/2=root (Gm/r)*r rate of change of area is proportional to r^1/2 i understand this of second law

Evaluate the right side in term of r @hardcoreisdead clear?
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
OHHH got it thanx so i basically had to write area in terms of r and dtheta and derive relation between

can u solve another one a uniform ring of mass m and radius a is placed directly above a uniform spehere of mass M and of equal radius. the centre of the rings is at a dist (root3)a from the centre of the sphere. find the gravitational force on the sphere by the ring and vice versa. are they both equal? is so why? @SIMPle Potato or should i create new thread

In end it will mr not 2mr
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
Yea dosent matter tho we only care about r
Sephrina
Sephrina3mo ago
1/2 will cancel it out
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
Mhm You know about gravitational field due to ring?
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
on axis? yes
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
Yeah Just like electrostatics assume sphere to be a point when considering other ones field
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
for the case of gravitational force due to ring on sphere right?
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
So its F = (field due to ring at center)*mass of sphere Yeah Force is same for other case cus of newton's third law
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
ignoring newtons third law for once how can we mathematically find out the gravitational force on ring due to sphere thru calculus
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
do we have to assume sphere as point mass here if yes then its just derivation of g-field on axis
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
Yes It would be at some angle one component will cancel its counterpart you'll have to integrate the other one
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
if this is system then particle mass must be at axis right

Sin component will cancel
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
yeah thats clear will this be completely accurate tho assuming the sphere as point mass cuz the mass at top of sphere will experience more force than the mass at few units below it
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
No? Asumming it to be point mass would create no problem
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
i meant looking at an actual sphere not point mass
SIMPle Potato
SIMPle Potato3mo ago
dosent matter try solving with that assumption
hardcoreisdead
hardcoreisdeadOP3mo ago
whi toh ni hua too many variables

this portrays gravitational force due to dm mass of ring

on some mass m of sphere of total mass M F1= Gmdm/d1^2 F2= Gmdm/d2^2 d1>d2 F1<F2 in real life wouldnt this create discrepancies
