Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

The amount of straight pipe needed to bend a given radius. Also, the actual length of the conduit that will be bent.
slava [35]

Development length: The actual length of the bent conduit. Gain: Since a conduit bends radially rather than at an angle, the total length will not match the length required for all bends. Gain is the amount of space that is saved by a 90^{0} curve.

<h3>Bent Conduit</h3>

Conduit benders from Klein Tools are built to function and last longer than even the highest professional standards. To ensure a favourable experience and significantly enhance the final result of your project, it is advised that you become familiar with bending concepts, procedures, and the bender's capabilities. The benders are labelled with various alignment symbols to enable the operator make the bends required to complete any job. This aids bending while executing a ground or air bend. Arrow, teardrop, star point, and angle markings are the symbols on the Klein Tools benders. On certain bender head sides, you can see these markings.

A uniform solid disk and a uniform ring are place side by side at the top of a rough incline of height h.
nadezda [96]

Explanation:

velocity of disc =\sqrt((gh)/0.75)

lets call (h) 1 m to make it simple.

= 3.614 m/s

\sqrt((4/3) x 1 x 9.8) = 3.614 m/s pointing towards this:

4×V_d=\sqrt(4/3hg)

V_h=\sqrt(hg)

velocity of hoop=\sqrt(gh)

lets call (h) 1m to make it simple again.

\sqrt(9.8 x 1) = 3.13 m/s

\sqrt(gh) = sqrt(hg)so [tex]4×V_d= \sqrt(4/3hg)V_h=\sqrt(hg)

The disc is the fastest.

While i'm on this subject i'll show you this:

Solid ball =0.7v^2= gh

solid disc = 0.75v^2 = gh

hoop =v^2=gh

The above is simplified from linear KE + rotational KE, the radius or mass makes no difference to the above formula.

The solid ball will be the faster of the 3, like above i'll show you.

solid ball: velocity =\sqrt((gh)/0.7)

let (h) be 1m again to compare.

\sqrt((9.8 x 1)/0.7) = 3.741 m/s

solid disk speed =\sqrt((gh)/0.75)

uniform hoop speed =\sqrt(gh)

solid sphere speed =\sqrt((gh)/0.7)

A ferris wheel has a radius of 36 feet and completes one revolution every 5.4 minutes. what is the speed of the ferris wheel (in
KIM [24]
In order to find the speed per minute you will have to divide the two numbers together. You need to do 36/5.4 so the answer will be around 6.7 feet per minute.
