79. First-Class Mail As of April 2016, the U.S. Postal Service<br />
charged $0.47 postage for first-class letters weighing up to and<br />
including 1 ounce, plus a flat fee of $0.21 for each additional or<br />
partial ounce up to 3.5 ounces. First-class letter rates do not apply<br />
to letters weighing more than 3.5 ounces.<br />

additional or partial ounce up to 13 ounces. First-class rates do not<br />

0.02173 per kWH<br />

83. Gravity on Europa Europa, one of<br />
the larger satellites of Jupiter, has an icy<br />
surface and appears to have oceans<br />
beneath the ice. This makes it a<br />
candidate for possible extraterrestrial<br />
life. Because Europa is much smaller<br />
than most planets, its gravity is weaker.<br />
If we think of Europa as a sphere with<br />
uniform internal density, then inside the sphere, the gravitational<br />
field g is given by g(r) = Gm r, 0≤ r < R, where R is the<br />
R3 radius of the sphere, r is the distance from the center of the<br />
sphere, and G is the universal gravitation constant. Outside a<br />
uniform sphere of mass m, the gravitational field g is given by<br />
g(r) = Gm<br />
r 2 , R < r<br />
(a) For the gravitational field of Europa to be continuous<br />
at its surface, what must g(r) equal?<br />
[Hint: Investigate lim r→R<br />
g(r).]<br />
(b) Determine the gravitational field at Europa’s surface. This<br />
will indicate the type of gravity environment organisms will<br />
experience. Use the following measured values: Europa’s<br />
mass is 4.8 × 10 22 kilograms, its radius is 1.569 × 10 6<br />
meters, and G = 6.67 × 10 −11 .<br />
(c) Compare the result found in (b) to the gravitational field on<br />
Earth’s surface, which is 9.8 meter/second 2 . Is the gravity<br />
on Europa less than or greater than that on Earth?<br />
