Answer

given,

height of water = 28 cm

specific gravity of the oil = 0.78

new height of the water level = 34 cm

height of water = ?

increase in height = 34 - 28 = 6 cm

water oil interface is at = 28 - 6 = 22 cm

so, now, 12 cm of weight of water is to be displaced by oil

height of the equivalent oil

      = 12 / 0.78

      = 15.38 cm

height of the oil from the bottom is equal to

     = 22 + 15.38

     = 37.38 cm

Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2

In parallel

\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0

Solving the above quadratic equation

\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}

\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

A small rivet connecting two pieces of sheet metal is being clinched by hammering. Determine the impulse exerted on the rivet an
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a) the impulse exerted by the rivet when the anvil has an infinite mass support is 0.932 lb.s

the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow  when the anvil has an infinite mass support = 9.32 ft.lb

b) the impulse exerted by the rivet when the anvil has a support weight of 9 lb = 0.799 lb.s

the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow when the anvil has a support weight of 9 lb is = 7.99 ft.lb

Explanation:

The first picture shows a schematic view of a free body momentum diagram of the hammer head and the anvil.

Using the principle of conservation of momentum to determine the final velocity of anvil and hammer after the impact; we have:

m_Hv_H + m_Av_A = m_Hv_2+m_Av_2

From the question given, we can deduce that the anvil is at rest;

∴ v_A = 0; then, we have:

m_Hv_H + 0 = (m_H+m_A) v_2

Making v_2 the subject of the formula; we have:

v_2 = \frac{m_Hv_H}{m_H + m_A}       ------- Equation  (1)

Also, from the second diagram; there is a representation of a free  body momentum  of the hammer head;

From the diagram;

F = impulsive force exerted on the  rivet

Δt = the change in time of application of the impulsive force

Using the principle of impulse of momentum to the hammer in the quest to determine the impulse exerted (i.e FΔt ) on the rivet; we have:

m_Hv_H - F \delta t = m_Hv_2

- F \delta t = - m_Hv_H + m_Hv_2

F \delta t = m_Hv_H - m_Hv_2

F \delta t = m_H(v_H - v_2)        ------- Equation   (2)

Using the function of the kinetic energy  of the hammer before impact T_1; we have:

T_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_Hv_H^2  -------- Equation (3)

We determine the mass of the hammer m_H  by using the formula from:

W_H = m_Hg

where;

W_H = weight of the hammer

m_H = mass of the hammer

g = acceleration due to gravity

Making m_H the subject of the formula; we have:

m_H = \frac{W_H}{g}

m_H = \frac{1.5 \ lb}{32.2 \ ft/s^2}

m_H = 0.04658 \ lb.s^2/ft

Now;

T_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_Hv_H^2

T_1 = \frac{1}{2}*(0.04658 \ lb.s^2 /ft) *(20 \ ft/s)^2

T_1 = \frac{18.632 }{2}

T_1 = 9.316 \ ft.lb

After the impact T_2 ; the final kinetic energy of the hammer and anvil can be written as:

T_2 = \frac{1}{2}(m_H +m_A)v^2_2

Recall from equation (1) ; where v_2 = (\frac{m_Hv_H}{m_H+m_A})  ; if we slot that into the above equation; we have:

T_2 = \frac{1}{2}(m_H +m_A)( \frac{m_Hv_H}{m_H+m_A})^2

T_2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{m^2_H +v^2}{m_H+m_A}

T_2 = \frac{1}{2} ({m^2_H +v^2})(\frac{m_H}{m_H+m_A})

Also; from equation (3)

T_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_Hv_H^2; Therefore;

T_2 = T_1 (\frac{m_H}{m_H+m_A})    ----- Equation (4)

a)

Now; To calculate the impulse exerted by the rivet FΔt and the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow  ΔT when the anvil has an infinite mass support; we have the following process

First , we need to find the mass of the anvil when we have an infinite mass support;

mass of the anvil m_A = \frac{W_A}{g}

where we replace;  W_A \ with \ \infty and g = 32.2 ft/s²

m_A =  \frac{\infty}{32.2 \ ft/s}

However ; from equation (1)

v_2 = \frac{m_H v_H}{m_H + m_A}

v_2 = \frac{0.04658*20}{0.04658+ \ \infty}

v_2 = 0

From equation (2)

F \delta t = m_H(v_H + v_2)      

F \delta t = (0.04658 lb .s^2 /ft )(20ft/s  - 0)

F \delta t = \ 0.932 \  lb.s

Therefore the impulse exerted by the rivet when the anvil has an infinite mass support is  0.932 lb.s

For the energy absorbed by the rivet ; we have:

T_2 = T_1 (\frac{m_H}{m_H+m_A} )

where;

T_1= 9.316 \ ft.lb

m_H = 0.04658 \ lb.s^2/ft

m_A = \infty

Then;

T_2 = (9.316 \ ft.lb) (\frac{0.04658\  lb.s^2/ft)}{0.04658  \ lb.s^2/ft+ \infty} )

T_2 = (9.316 \ ft.lb)* 0

T_2 = 0

Then the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow ΔT when the anvil has an infinite mass support

ΔT = T_1 - T_2

ΔT = 9.316 ft.lb - 0

ΔT ≅  9.32 ft.lb

Therefore; we conclude that the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow  when the anvil has an infinite mass support = 9.32 ft.lb
