Physics

Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect thedirection of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that wecan model a mountain as a sphere of radius R = 3.00 km and density(mass per unit volume) 2.6 × 103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a0.500m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere's center andsuch that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How farwould the lower end move toward the sphere?
