A space station with a mass of 56000 kg is in orbit around the earth at an altitude above the surface of the earth that is equal to 4 times the earths radius. What acceleration due to the earths gravity would an astronaut on that space station experience to.

Explanation:

By definition, the density of the substance is given by:

D = \frac{m}{V}D=

V

m

Where,

m: mass of the substance

V: volume of the substance

Calculating the volume of the substance we have:

V = (50) * (10) * (30) V = 15000 cm ^ 3V=(50)∗(10)∗(30)V=15000cm

3

Then, replacing values we have:

D = \frac{3300}{15000}D=

15000

3300

D = 0.22 \frac{g}{cm^3}D=0.22
