Apossible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflectingaluminized sheet into orbit around the earth and then use the lightfrom the sun to push this "solar sail." suppose a sail of area5.00 105 m2 and mass 6300 kg is placed in orbit facing the sun.

(a) what force is exerted on the sail?
n
(b) what is the sail's acceleration?
m/s2
(c) what time interval is required for the sail to reach the moon,3.84 multiplied by 108 maway? ignore all gravitational effects, assume the accelerationcalculated in part (b) remains constant, and assume a solarintensity of 1370 w/m2.
days

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 2.60 ft3 is at 70°f and 21 psig. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 30 psig. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.6 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant. the gas constant of air is ru = 53.34ft⋅lbflbm⋅r(1 psia144 lbf/ft2) = 0.3704 psia⋅ft3lbm⋅r the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure is lbm
