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:
Fluids
Explanation:
Fluids has special properties that allow forces and pressure to be distributed evenly within them.
- Fluids are gases and liquids whose intermolecular forces of attraction are generally weak or non-existence.
- Therefore, when pressure is applied to them, it permeates evenly on all parts.
- Their ability to tend to randomness makes liquids and gases very viable for distributing pressure.
Answer:
(b)False
Explanation:
Given:
Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.
We know that 
Where 
is the molecular diffusivity of momentum
is the molecular diffusivity of heat.
Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as
Where 
is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and 
is the thermal boundary layer thickness.
So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.
In given question Pr>1 so hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.
So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.
