Answer:

d. low earth orbit (LEO)

Explanation:

This type of satellites form a constellation deployed as a series of “necklaces” in such a way that at any time, at least one satellite is visible by a receiver antenna, compensating the movement due to the earth rotation.

Opposite to that, a geostationary satellite is at an altitude that makes it  like a fixed point over the Earth´s equator, rotating synchronously with the Earth, so it is always visible in a given area.

An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainlesssteel cable having a diameter of 5 mm and an electricalresistance of 610
KatRina [158]

Answer:

778.4°C

Explanation:

I = 700

R = 6x10⁻⁴

we first calculate the rate of heat that is being transferred by the current

q = I²R

q = 700²(6x10⁻⁴)

= 490000x0.0006

= 294 W/M

we calculate the surface temperature

Ts = T∞ + \frac{q}{h\pi Di}

Ts = 30+\frac{294}{25*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{5}{1000}  }

Ts=30+\frac{294}{0.3928} \\

Ts =30+748.4\\Ts = 778.4

The surface temperature is therefore 778.4°C if the cable is bare

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

D_o=11.9inch

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness T=0.5

Internal PressureP=2.2Ksi

Shear stress \sigma=12ksi

Elastic modulus \gamma= 35000

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

 \sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

 12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}

 r_i=5.45

Generally

 r_o=r_1+t

 r_o=5.45+0.5

 r_o=5.95

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

 D_o=2r_o

 D_o=11.9inch

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

 D_o=11.9inch
