The mass of Uranus is 8.68 x 1025 kg. That’s 14.536 times more than the mass of Earth.

What is the difference between the forces due to Uranus on a 1.0 kg mass located at the near side of Titania and at the far side of Titania? Titania has a mean radius of 789 km and a mean orbital radius about Uranus of 436,300 km. (Enter the magnitude in newtons.)

Compare this difference to the difference for Earth due to the Moon, 0.22 ✕ 10−5 N. (Tidal forces are the cause of volcanic activity on some moons.)

Calculate the mass (in kg) of the Sun based on data for Uranus's orbit. (Use G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 N · m2/kg2 in your calculations. Round your answer to at least four significant figures.)

Compare the above calculated value with the Sun's actual mass. (Round your answer to at least three decimal places.)

There are over 5,000 banks in the United States—more than 10 times more per person than in other industrialized countries. A recent study suggests that the long-run average cost curve for an individual bank is relatively flat. If Congress took steps to consolidate banks (merge some of the banks), thereby reducing the total number to 2,500, what would you expect to happen to average costs within the banking industry?
