Answer:
26 lbf
Explanation:
The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.
The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.
The universal gravitation equation:
g = G * M / d^2
Where
G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))
M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)
d: distance to that body
15000 miles = 24140 km
The distance is to the center of Earth.
Earth radius = 6371 km
Then:
d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km
g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2
Then we calculate the weight:
w = m * a
w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N
116 N is 26 lbf
The heat transferred to and the work produced by the steam during this process is 13781.618 kJ/kg

How to calcultae the heat?</h3>
The Net Change in Enthalpy will be:
= m ( h2 - h1 ) = 11.216 ( 1755.405 - 566.78 ) = 13331.618 kJ/kg
Work Done (Area Under PV curve) = 1/2 x (P1 + P2) x ( V1 - V2)
= 1/2 x ( 75 + 225) x (5 - 2)
W = 450 KJ
From the First Law of Thermodynamics, Q = U + W
So, Heat Transfer = Change in Internal Energy + Work Done
= 13331.618 + 450
Q = 13781.618 kJ/kg
