I only need help with part b. please be descriptive and do

1) (10 Points) On its mission to explore the UNIVERSE, the USS Enterprise ( ME= 100,000 [ kg ] ) discovers an infinite length rod in an otherwise empty region of space. The captain decides to send out a probe to study the properties of the rod. The Enterprise "parks" 200 [km] from the rod, holding itself at rest relative to the rod by applying a constant thrust force away from the rod with a magnitude of 1 [MN] (1 [MN] = 1,000,000 Newtons). It then fires out a "probe" which is effectively a bowling ball with a mass m,=20[kg ] and charge 9:=+5[uC] . The "probe" moves about the rod in a circular orbit with speed 15,000 [m/s]. a) Draw a FBD of the (uncharged) Enterprise at rest near the rod. b) Use Gauss' Law for Gravity to find an expression for the gravitational field due to the infinite length rod a distance r away in terms of the linear mass density of the rod ,, . GL for gravity is & g. dA=-4nGm where mene is the mass enclosed by your chosen Gaussian surface (GS). HINT: You must draw your GS and go through the steps. c) Find the linear mass density Am, of the rod. d) Draw a FBD of the orbiting bowling ball "probe" e) Find the linear charge density
