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 steel 4140 steel contains 0.4% C, however, it shows higher yield strength and ultimate strength than that of the 1045 (0.45%
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

4140 steel contains 0.4% C  having higher yield strength and ultimate strength than the 1045 steel contains 0.45% C

Explanation:

we have given 4140 steel contains 0.4% C

we know here that 4140 steel is low steel alloy , and it have low amount of chromium , manganese etc alloying element

and these elements which are present in 4140 steel they increase yield strength and ultimate strength of steel

while in 1045 steel contains 0.45 % c is plain carbon steel

and it do not contain any alloying element

so that 4140 steel contains 0.4% C  having higher yield strength and ultimate strength than the 1045 steel contains 0.45% C

A smooth ceramic sphere (SG 5 2.6) is immersed in a fl ow of water at 208C and 25 cm/s. What is the sphere diameter if it is enc
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. 4\mu m

b. 1 m

Explanation:

According to the question, the data is as follows

The Density of water at 20 degrees celcius is 1000 kg/m^3

Viscosity is 0.001kg/m/.s

Velocity V = 25 cm/s

V = 0.25 m/s

Now

a. The creeping motion is

As we know that

Reynold Number = (Density of water × V × d) ÷ (Viscosity)

1 = (1,000 × 0.25 × d) ÷ 0.0001

d = (1 × 0.001) ÷ (1,000 × 0.25)

= 4E - 06^m

= 4\mu m

b. Now the sphere diameter is

Reynold Number = (Density of water × V × d) ÷ (Viscosity)

250,000 = (1,000 × 0.25 × d) ÷ 0.0001

d = (250,000 × 0.001) ÷ (1,000 × 0.25)

= 1 m

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.
ddd [48]

Answer:

P = 150.335\,kPa (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 150.335\,kPa
