Response:
83%
Clarification:
At the surface, the weight can be expressed as:
W = GMm / R²
where G denotes the gravitational constant, M represents the Earth's mass, m signifies the shuttle's mass, and R is the Earth's radius.
When in orbit, the weight is given by:
w = GMm / (R+h)²
where h indicates the shuttle's altitude above Earth's surface.
The weight ratio is as follows:
w/W = R² / (R+h)²
w/W = (R / (R+h))²
For R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:
w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²
w/W = 0.83
Thus, the shuttle maintains 83% of its weight as it orbits.
Answer:

Explanation:
The beacon is rotating at an angular speed of

so we have



We know that

At this point we have


So we can conclude with


The formula for range is:

Given values are:

where θ equals 14.1 degrees

Using the equation above,

The calculated range is 66.7 meters.
Therefore, the range is approximately 66.1 meters.
Flow rate calculations yield 220 cans, each with a volume of 0.355 l, leading to 78.1 l/min or 1.3 l/s or 0.0013 m³/s.
At Point 2:
A2 = 8 cm² = 0.0008 m²
V2 = Flow rate/A2 = 0.0013/0.0008 = 1.625 m/s
P1 = 152 kPa = 152000 Pa
At Point 1:
A1 = 2 cm² = 0.0002 m²
V1 = Flow rate/A1 = 0.0013/0.0002 = 6.5 m/s
P1 =?
Height = 1.35 m
Using Bernoulli’s principle;
P2 + 1/2 * V2² / density = P1 + 1/2 * V1² / density + density * gravitational acceleration * height
=> 152000 + 0.5 * (1.625)² * 1000 = P1 + 0.5 * (6.5)² * 1000 + (1000 * 9.81 * 1.35)
=> 153320.31 = P1 + 34368.5
=> P1 = 1533210.31 - 34368.5 = 118951.81 Pa = 118.95 kPa
