🔑:## Step 1: Define the temperature profileThe temperature profile is given as (T = a + frac{b}{R}), where (a) and (b) are constants to be determined.## Step 2: Apply the boundary condition at (R_0)At (R = R_0), the temperature is (T_0), so we substitute these values into the temperature profile equation: (T_0 = a + frac{b}{R_0}).## Step 3: Apply the boundary condition at (R_1)At (R = R_1), the temperature is (T_1), which we are trying to find. So, (T_1 = a + frac{b}{R_1}).## Step 4: Use the boundary conditions to solve for (a) and (b)From Step 2, we have (T_0 = a + frac{b}{R_0}). We need another equation involving (a) and (b) to solve for both. Since the planet's surface is in equilibrium with no incoming radiation and emissivity of 1.0, the surface temperature (T_1) will be such that the outgoing radiation equals the internal heat flux. However, without specific information on how the internal heat generation or the exact form of the heat flux equation, we proceed under the assumption that the temperature profile itself provides a basis for equilibrium conditions.## Step 5: Solve the system of equations for (a) and (b)We have two equations:1. (T_0 = a + frac{b}{R_0})2. (T_1 = a + frac{b}{R_1})To find (a) and (b), we can solve this system of equations. First, let's rearrange both equations to isolate (a):1. (a = T_0 - frac{b}{R_0})2. (a = T_1 - frac{b}{R_1})Setting these equal to each other gives:(T_0 - frac{b}{R_0} = T_1 - frac{b}{R_1})## Step 6: Solve for (b)Rearranging the equation from Step 5 to solve for (b):(T_0 - T_1 = frac{b}{R_1} - frac{b}{R_0})(T_0 - T_1 = b(frac{1}{R_1} - frac{1}{R_0}))(b = frac{T_0 - T_1}{frac{1}{R_1} - frac{1}{R_0}})## Step 7: Substitute (b) back into one of the original equations to find (a)Using (T_0 = a + frac{b}{R_0}) and substituting (b) from Step 6:(T_0 = a + frac{1}{R_0} cdot frac{T_0 - T_1}{frac{1}{R_1} - frac{1}{R_0}})## Step 8: Simplify and solve for (a)Let's simplify the expression for (b) first:(b = frac{T_0 - T_1}{frac{R_0 - R_1}{R_0R_1}} = frac{(T_0 - T_1)R_0R_1}{R_0 - R_1})Then, substitute (b) into the equation for (T_0):(T_0 = a + frac{1}{R_0} cdot frac{(T_0 - T_1)R_0R_1}{R_0 - R_1})(T_0 = a + frac{(T_0 - T_1)R_1}{R_0 - R_1})## Step 9: Solve for (a)(T_0 = a + frac{T_0R_1 - T_1R_1}{R_0 - R_1})(T_0(R_0 - R_1) = a(R_0 - R_1) + T_0R_1 - T_1R_1)(T_0R_0 - T_0R_1 = a(R_0 - R_1) + T_0R_1 - T_1R_1)(T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1R_1 = a(R_0 - R_1))(a = frac{T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1R_1}{R_0 - R_1})## Step 10: Substitute (a) and (b) back into the equation for (T_1)Given (T_1 = a + frac{b}{R_1}), substitute (a) and (b):(T_1 = frac{T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1R_1}{R_0 - R_1} + frac{1}{R_1} cdot frac{(T_0 - T_1)R_0R_1}{R_0 - R_1})## Step 11: Solve for (T_1)Simplifying the equation:(T_1 = frac{T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1R_1}{R_0 - R_1} + frac{T_0R_0 - T_1R_0}{R_0 - R_1})Combine like terms and solve for (T_1):(T_1(R_0 - R_1) = T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1R_1 + T_0R_0 - T_1R_0)(T_1(R_0 - R_1) = 2T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1 + T_1(R_1 - R_0))(T_1(R_0 - R_1) + T_1(R_0 - R_1) = 2T_0R_0 - 2T_0R_1)(2T_1(R_0 - R_1) = 2T_0(R_0 - R_1))(T_1 = T_0)The final answer is: boxed{T_0}

🔑:## Step 1: Calculate the initial potential energy of the systemThe initial potential energy of the system is zero since the spring is relaxed and the blocks are at rest.## Step 2: Calculate the initial potential energy of the hanging block at height 0.090 mAs the hanging block falls a distance of 0.090 m, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The initial potential energy (U_i) of the hanging block can be calculated using the formula U_i = m * g * h, where m is the mass of the hanging block (2M = 2 * 2.1 kg = 4.2 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and h is the distance fallen (0.090 m).## Step 3: Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energyThe total initial energy of the system is equal to the total final energy of the system. Since the system starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. As the hanging block falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of both blocks. The spring's potential energy is not considered at the initial and final positions because we are calculating the energy at the moment when the spring is still relaxed (or the same amount of energy is stored in the spring at the initial and final positions). Therefore, we can equate the initial potential energy of the hanging block to the final kinetic energies of both blocks.## Step 4: Calculate the initial potential energy of the hanging blockU_i = m * g * h = 4.2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.090 m = 3.672 J.## Step 5: Calculate the combined kinetic energy of the two blocksSince energy is conserved, the initial potential energy of the hanging block equals the combined kinetic energy of the two blocks. Let's denote the velocity of the blocks as v. The combined kinetic energy (K) is given by the formula K = (1/2) * M * v^2 + (1/2) * 2M * v^2, which simplifies to K = (1/2) * (M + 2M) * v^2 = (3/2) * M * v^2. However, we don't need to calculate v explicitly since we know that the initial potential energy equals the final kinetic energy.## Step 6: Equate the initial potential energy to the combined kinetic energyThe initial potential energy (3.672 J) is equal to the combined kinetic energy of the two blocks. This means the combined kinetic energy of the two blocks when the hanging block has fallen 0.090 m is 3.672 J.The final answer is: boxed{3.672}

🔑:## Step 1: Understand the equation for hydrostatic equilibrium and the given approximations.The equation for hydrostatic equilibrium is dP/dr = -GM(r)ρ(r)/r^2. We are given the approximations dP ≈ ΔP and dr ≈ Δr. We need to use these to derive a rough estimate for the central pressure of a star.## Step 2: Substitute the given approximations into the equation for hydrostatic equilibrium.Substituting dP ≈ ΔP and dr ≈ Δr into the equation gives ΔP ≈ -GM(r)ρ(r)Δr/r^2.## Step 3: Evaluate the equation for Δr = Rs, the total radius of the star.Given that ρ(r) = 3Mtotal/(4πRs^3), which is the average density, and evaluating for Δr = Rs, we get ΔP ≈ -GM(Rs)(3Mtotal/(4πRs^3))Rs/Rs^2.## Step 4: Simplify the equation.Simplifying, we have ΔP ≈ -G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πRs^4).## Step 5: Recognize that the central pressure (Pc) is approximately equal to ΔP since we are considering the change in pressure across the entire star.Thus, Pc ≈ G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πRs^4).## Step 6: Consider the relationship between the mass of the star (Mtotal) and its radius (Rs) to determine if the central pressure depends on mass.For main-sequence stars, the mass-radius relation can be approximated as Rs ∝ Mtotal^α, where α is a constant. However, the question asks us to show the central pressure is independent of mass for the scalings given above, suggesting we should focus on the given average density formula which implies a specific relationship between Mtotal and Rs.## Step 7: Use the average density formula to relate Mtotal and Rs directly.Given ρ(r) = 3Mtotal/(4πRs^3), this implies that Mtotal ∝ Rs^3, or Rs ∝ Mtotal^(1/3). This relationship can be used to express Rs in terms of Mtotal in the central pressure equation.## Step 8: Substitute Rs ∝ Mtotal^(1/3) into the simplified equation for central pressure.Substituting Rs = k*Mtotal^(1/3), where k is a constant, into Pc ≈ G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πRs^4) gives Pc ≈ G(3Mtotal^2)/(4π(k*Mtotal^(1/3))^4).## Step 9: Simplify the expression to show the dependence on Mtotal.Pc ≈ G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πk^4Mtotal^(4/3)) = (3G)/(4πk^4)*Mtotal^(2 - 4/3) = (3G)/(4πk^4)*Mtotal^(2/3).## Step 10: Realize the mistake in simplification in Step 9 and correct it.The error was in the simplification process. The correct simplification after substitution should focus on the original task of showing the central pressure is independent of mass, given the specific scaling provided. Let's correct the approach by directly evaluating the dependence on mass without incorrectly simplifying the expression.## Step 11: Correct the approach by directly evaluating the central pressure equation with the given density and mass-radius relationship.Given that ρ = 3Mtotal/(4πRs^3), and considering the equation for central pressure Pc ≈ G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πRs^4), if we substitute Rs with a relationship that directly reflects the average density condition, we should find that the central pressure does not depend on the mass due to the specific scaling given.## Step 12: Re-evaluate the relationship between Mtotal and Rs based on the average density.Since ρ = 3Mtotal/(4πRs^3), it implies that Mtotal = (4/3)πRs^3ρ. For the average density condition given, this means that the mass is directly proportional to the radius cubed, which was correctly identified but not properly used to show the independence of central pressure from mass.## Step 13: Correctly apply the mass-radius relationship to show the central pressure's independence from mass.Using the correct relationship between Mtotal and Rs, and recognizing that the average density formula implies a direct proportionality between Mtotal and Rs^3, we should find that when substituting into the equation for central pressure, the mass terms cancel out or simplify in a way that shows the central pressure does not depend on the mass of the star, given the specific conditions provided.The final answer is: boxed{G(3Mtotal^2)/(4πRs^4) = (3G)/(4π) * (3Mtotal/(4πRs^3))^2 * Rs^2 = (3G)/(4π) * ρ^2 * Rs^2 = (3G)/(4π) * (3Mtotal/(4πRs^3))^2 * Rs^2 = (27G)/(64π^2) * (Mtotal^2/Rs^6) * Rs^2 = (27G)/(64π^2) * Mtotal^2/Rs^4}
