Imagine you are on a space mission and you are 6 AU's from the Sun and you use a light sensor to measure the brightness of the Sun. The amount of sunlight received per square centimeter would be different by what factor compared to the same measurement on Earth at AU

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
