11 Scientists and engineers are testing three different satellites orbiting Earth. The scientists are able to use sensors to determine the
gravitational force experienced by each satellite. Some of the data from each of the orbiting satellites is shown in the table below.
Distance

Which statement best summarizes the information given?
OA. The gravitational force exerted by Earth changes the mass of each of the satellites.
OB. The gravitational force on the satellite depends only on the distance from Earth at which it is traveling.
OC. The gravitational force exerted by Earth on the satellite depends on the satellite's mass.
OD
The satellite with the least amount of mass is able to exert greater gravitational force on Earth than the others.

Asteel tube (k=50 w/mk) of inner and outer diameter di = 20mm and do=26mm, respectively, is used to transfer heat from hot gases flowing over the tube (h-hot = 200w/m2k) to cold water flowing through the tube (h-cold = 8000 w/m2k). what is the cold-side overall heat transfer coefficient uc? to enhance heat transfer 16 straight fins of rectangular profile are installed longitudinally along the outer surface of the tube. the fins are equally spaced around the circumference of the tube, each having a thickness of 2mm and a length of 15mm. what is the corresponding overall heat transfer coefficient uc? *solve for uc in both cases*
