Two plane coaxial disks are separated by a distance 0.6 m. The lower disk is solid with a diameter 0.80 m and a temperature 300 K. The upper disk , at temperature 900 K, has the same outer diameter but is ring-shaped with an inner diameter 0.40 m. Assuming the disks to be blackbodies, calculate the net rate of radiative heat exchange from disk 1 to disk 2, in kW.

if anyone is reading my coment your oarents will became very fine soon

change tension

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
