A spherical interplanetary grain of dust of radius 0.2 mm is at a distance r1 from the Sun. The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the grain just balances the force due to radiation pressure from the Suns light. Suppose the grain is compressed so that it crystallizes into a sphere with significantly higher density, still at a distance r1. What is the net force exerted on the grain?
  1.toward the Sun
  2.away from the Sun
  3.zero
  4.impossible to determine without knowing the mass of the grain

Question 2

A spherical interplanetary grain of dust of radius 0.2 mm is at a distance r1 from the Sun. The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the grain just balances the force due to radiation pressure from the Suns light. Assume the grain is moved to a distance 2r1 from the Sun and released. At this location, what is the net force exerted on the grain?
  1.toward the Sun
  2.away from the Sun
  3.zero
  4.impossible to determine without knowing the mass of the grain

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
