उत्तर
Distance between the Earth and the Moon:
r = 3.85 × 105 km = 3.85 × 108 m
Time taken by the Moon to revolve around the Earth:
T = 27.3 days
= 24 × 3600 × 27.3 s
= 2.36 × 106 s
Velocity of the Moon:
`v = (2pir)/T`
= `(2 × 3.14 × 3.85 xx 10^8)/(2.36 × 10^6)`
= 1025.41 m/s
Acceleration of the Moon:
`a = v^2/r`
= `(1025.42)^2/(3.85 xx 10^8)`
= 0.00275 m/s2
⇒ a = 2.73 × 10−3 m/s2

In a children's park a heavy rod is pivoted at the centre and is made to rotate about the pivot so that the rod always remains horizontal. Two kids hold the rod near the ends and thus rotate with the rod (In the following figure). Let the mass of each kid be 15 kg, the distance between the points of the rod where the two kids hold it be 3.0 m and suppose that the rod rotates at the rate of 20 revolutions per minute. Find the force of friction exerted by the rod on one of the kids.
