Question:

An orbiting spacecraft is described not as a “zero-g,” but rather as a “microgravity” environment for its occupants and for on-board experiments. Astronauts experience slight lurches due to the motions of equipment and other astronauts, and due to venting of materials from the craft. Assume that a 3 500-kg spacecraft undergoes an acceleration of 2.50 μg = 2.45 X 10─5 m/s2 due to a leak from one of its hydraulic control systems. The fluid is known to escape with a speed of 70.0 m/s into the vacuum of space. How much fluid will be lost in 1 h if the leak is not stopped?
