Chapter 3, Problem 3/278(choose chapter or problem)
A “drag-free” satellite is one which carries a small mass inside a chamber as shown. If the satellite speed decreases because of drag, the mass speed will not, and so the mass moves relative to the chamber as indicated. Sensors detect this change in the position of the mass within the chamber, and the satellite thruster is periodically fired to recenter the mass. In this manner, compensation is made for drag. If the satellite is in a circular earth orbit of 200-km altitude and a total thruster burn time of 300 seconds occurs during 10 orbits, determine the drag force D acting on the 100-kg satellite. The thruster force T is 2 N.
