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

Answer:

  curly brackets are missing

Explanation:

The body of the main() function need to be enclosed in curly brackets. Try this:

int P = 3000;

int main( ) {

  for (int t = 0; t < 10; t++) {

     cout << P;

Heating of Oil by Air. A flow of 2200 lbm/h of hydrocarbon oil at 100°F enters a heat exchanger, where it is heated to 150°F by
irakobra [83]

Answer:

2062 lbm/h

Explanation:

The air will lose heat and the oil will gain heat.

These heats will be equal in magnitude.

qo = -qa

They will be of different signs because one is entering iits system and the other is exiting.

The heat exchanged by oil is:

qo = Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)

The heat exchanged by air is:

qa = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure is:

Cpa = 0.24 BTU/(lbm*F)

Therefore:

Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi) = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

Ga = (Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)) / (Cpa * (taf - tai))

Ga = (2200 * 0.45 * (150 - 100)) / (0.24 * (300 - 200)) = 2062 lbm/h
