Consider the system of two identical masses on the y axis that we worked with in class: one mass m at position (r, , a) and another identical mass m at position (x, y)- (0, -a). (a) draw a well labeled diagram like we did in class showing an arbitrary point (x, y) and write out the full expression for the total gravitational field (in component form) at that point. also draw a set of gravitational field lines throughout the region showing the magnitude, direction, and symmetry of the field (b) use your expression from part (a) to write an expression for the total gravitational field (in component form) at an arbitrary position on the y axis. do the components of your result (for points above, below, and between the masses) make sense given the symmetry of the system? explain. (c) describe in words and/or equations) what you think the magnitude and direction of the gravitational field should be at a point on the y axis very far above the origin (i. e. where x 0 and y> > a). show that your expression from (b) demonstrates this behavior if you take the appropriate limit

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
