Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r}  \right )^{2}

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R}  \right )^{2}

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

A certain metal wire has a cross sectional area of 1 mm2 and is 1 m long. when it is hung from the ceiling and a 10 kg mass is h
kvasek [131]
From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension. 
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
 F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
                = 100 N/ 0.001
                = 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm

Based on the principles of convection, conduction and thermal radiation, which scenario below is most similar to the following s
Ksivusya [100]

The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ...
heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A).  This is the one.  Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire.   This is conduction too.

B).  No.  The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there.  This is convection.

C).  No.  There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it.  This is radiation.

D).  No.  Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it. 
This is convection.
