Read the following paragraph from the section “Remote Sensing Instruments.”

Thermometers, barometers, and other instruments are essential to exploring the immediate atmosphere where humans exist. But what if scientists want to explore how the atmosphere might act hours or days into the future, or in another part of the world? For this, scientists depend on remote sensing instruments--tools that obtain information from some distance away.

What is the MAIN reason why the author includes this paragraph in the article?

A
to explain how technology works best when it observes the atmosphere from far away
B
to explain how technology has become more advanced since the thermometer was invented
C
to highlight how remote sensing instruments are more advanced than thermometers and barometers
D
to highlight how different technologies are needed to measure different parts of the atmosphere

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.
