What is the minimum mass of an object in space before gravity naturally shapes the object into a sphere?
Q. Small asteroids and other objects can be found in many shapes. However, at some mass, gravity will automatically shape the object into a sphere. What is this point (like what mass or when does this happen)? And why?
Asked by ch_ris_l - Wed Aug 29 12:20:23 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The mass at which this happens depends on the composition and condition of the body in question. The body has to be massive enough for its gravity to overcome the rigidity of its material. If there's enough force to make the material flow, the object will assume a spherical shape because that's the lowest energy configuration - everything on the surface of a sphere is at the same gravitational potential, so there's no tendency for it to fall to another position. The asteroid Ceres appears to be the smallest spherical asteroid, with a mass of around 10^21 kg, so that sets an upper bound for the minimum size for a rocky object.

What's the difference between an object complement and a direct object?
Q. Pls look at this sentence:"We ask him to sign this bill." Herein, "to sign this bill" is said to be the direct object of the verb "ask"; However, why can't it be considered as an object complement. As it is said "When the word follows the direct object and it tells what the direct object has become, it is the object complement." Why can't it be thought in this way: He has been forced to sign the bill, thus, the state of him has been changed. In this way, can "to sign the bill" be considered as an object complement?
Asked by Jelly - Tue May 6 05:27:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your reasoning is correct except you have a pronoun as object in one case and a phrase in the other. We ask him to sign the bill. Him as opposed to anyose else. When you say "We ask to sign the bill" it means something different because, as you have stated, that action is the object of "ask". You could ask to have another coffee.But the important difference is that "he" is not asked to sign the bill. To ask to sign the bill and to ask him to sign the bill are two different objects of "asking" and two completely different sentences.
