Question text1. The water volume of the Aral sea was 1093 in 1960, and decreased exponentially to 102 in 2009. The density of salty water is about 1020 . a) Calculate the mass of water lost by the Aral sea from 1960 until 2009. Approximate your answer to 3 significant figures and give the answer in kg. Answer 1 Question 7[input] b) Assume that the mass of the lost water was kg and that it was evaporated and redistributed over the surface of Earth as a homogeneous thin spherical shell. This change in mass distribution will result in a change in Earth’s moment of inertia. Assume that initially the lake had all its mass concentrated at a point with coordinates 45°N 60°E (a point mass approximation). Calculate the change in Earth’s moment of inertia due to the redistribution of Lake Aral’s water. Give the answer in to 3 significant figures (be careful with the sign of the final answer). You may use: -Moment of inertia of homogeneous thin spherical shell with mass M and radius R is: -Moment of inertia of point mass with mass M and distance r from axis of rotation is: -Radius of Earth=6371 km Answer 2 Question 7[input] c) Assume the moment of inertia of Earth in 1960 to be and that the change in moment of inertia due to Aral's water evaporation was . Conservation of angular momentum tells us that: Where and are the moment of inertia and Earth’s period of rotation about its own axis (24 hours). Calculate in microseconds the expected change in Earth’s rotation period. Approximate to 2 significant figures.Answer 3 Question 7[input]多项填空题

Looking at the experimental setup, write down an equation for the total mechanical energy E of the system just as the load reaches the ground. This should be in terms of the gravitational acceleration g and the following variables; the velocity v of the load, the angular velocity w of the wheel, the moment of inertia I (capital i) of the wheel, the initial height H of the wheel’s centre of mass, the mass m of the load, and the mass M of the wheel. For your answer, please follow the following: Please write the answer without any blanks. For powers use ^ ie for v2 use v^2. Please use the common order for the letters, as used in the lectures/textbook ie for kinetic energy E=1/2mv^2 (not E=1/2v^2m) Write your answer in the following form: E=1/2(ab+cd^2) (your answer might not be in this form, this is just to demonstrate how multiplication, division, addition, power,... should be written. Note: only factorise numbers not variables.)
