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 lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å. Determine the distancebetween the nearest parallel ( a ) (100),
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

a)5.28 Å , b)3.73 Å , c)3.048 Å

Explanation:

the atoms are situated only at the corners of cube.Each and every atom in simple cubic primitive at the corner is shared with 8 adjacent unit cells.

Therefore, a particular unit cell consist only 1/8th part of an atom.

The lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å

We know formula of distance,

d = \frac{a}{\sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}+l^{2}}}

a)(100)

a=5.28 Å

Distance = \frac{5.28 Å}{\sqrt{1^{2}+0^{2}+0^{2}}}=5.28 Å

b)(110)

Distance = \frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+0^{2}}} = 3.73 Å

c)(111)

Distance= \frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}}= 3.048 Å

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}

tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}

tan\phi= 0.05797

For small angle of \phi, tan\phi can take as\phi.

\phi = 0.05797 rad.

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

A composite wall is to be used to insulate a freezer chamber at -350C. Two insulating materials are to be used with conductiviti
choli [55]

Answer:

thickness1=1.4m

thickness2=2.2m

convection coefficient=0.33W/m^2K

Explanation:

you must use this equation to calculate the thickness:

L=K(T2-T1)/Q

L=thickness

T=temperature

Q=heat

L1=0.04*(0--350)/10=1.4m

L2=0.1(220-0)/10=2.2m

Then use this equation to calculate the convective coefficient

H=Q/(T2-T1)

H=10/(250-220)=0.33W/m^2K
