Question text1. The water volume of the Aral sea was 1093 [math: km3] in 1960, and decreased exponentially to 102 [math: km3] in 2009. The density of salty water is about 1020 [math: kg/m3]. a) Calculate the mass of water lost by the Aral sea from 1960 until 2009. Approximate your answer to 3 significant figures and give the answer in kg. Answer 1 Question 7[input] [math: ×1015kg] b) Assume that the mass of the lost water was [math: 9.09×1014] kg and that it was evaporated and redistributed over the surface of Earth as a homogeneous thin spherical shell. This change in mass distribution will result in a change in Earth’s moment of inertia. Assume that initially the lake had all its mass concentrated at a point with coordinates 45°N 60°E (a point mass approximation). Calculate the change in Earth’s moment of inertia due to the redistribution of Lake Aral’s water. Give the answer in [math: kgm2] to 3 significant figures (be careful with the sign of the final answer). You may use: -Moment of inertia of homogeneous thin spherical shell with mass M and radius R is: [math: I=(2/3)MR2] -Moment of inertia of point mass with mass M and distance r from axis of rotation is: [math: I=Mr2] -Radius of Earth=6371 km Answer 2 Question 7[input] [math: ×1027kgm2]c) Assume the moment of inertia of Earth in 1960 to be [math: 8.04×1037kgm2] and that the change in moment of inertia due to Aral's water evaporation was [math: 6.77×1027kgm2]. Conservation of angular momentum tells us that: [math: Iinitial/Tinitial=Ifinal/Tfinal] Where [math: I] and [math: T] are the moment of inertia and Earth’s period of rotation about its own axis (24 hours). Calculate in microseconds the expected change in Earth’s rotation period. Approximate to 2 significant figures.Answer 3 Question 7[input] [math: μs]
