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:
d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)
Explanation:
The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.
Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms
This corresponds to answer choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.
Answer:
Hydrostatic force = 41168 N
Explanation:
Complete question
A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)
Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.
Then
w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude
w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3
w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3
Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7
HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3
HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7
HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))
HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N
Scientific notation is another way to write a number. In scientific notation, the letter E is used to mean "10 to the power of." For example, 1.314E+1 means 1.314 * 101 which is 13.14 . Scientific notation is merely a format used for input and output.
