Compare and contrast a tanker truck carrying a liquid load and a truck carrying solid objects

Physics
1 answer:
givi [52]1 year ago

Answer:

Explanation:

  • When carrying a liquid load the tanker will have pressure on a larger area of the container as compared to a tanker truck carrying a solid load.
  • Since the liquid has a property to flow therefore the molecules of the liquid load throughout the bulk will fluctuate more on any movement or vibration than the solid load.
  • The liquid load will require a leak proof container whereas the solid load container has no such restrictions.
  • The solid load will exert the pressure majorly on the bottom surface of the tanker truck whereas the pressure is distributed over the area of contact in case of the liquid load.
  • Solid load can be bound by the fixtures whereas the liquid load requires compartments in the tanker to minimize the fluctuations on acceleration and deceleration.

Complete Question

If you are lying down and stand up quickly, you can get dizzy or feel faint. This is because the blood vessels don’t have time to expand to compensate for the blood pressure drop. If your brain is 0.4 m higher than your heart when you are standing, how much lower is your blood pressure at your brain than it is at your heart? The density of blood plasma is about 1025 kg/m3 and a typical maximum (systolic) pressure of the blood at the heart is 120 mm of Hg (= 0.16 atm = 16 kP = 1.6 × 104 N/m2).

Answer:

The pressure at the brain is P_b  = 89.872 \ mm \ of \ Hg

Explanation:

Generally is mathematically denoted as

                  P = \rho gh

Substituting 1025 kg/m^3 for \rho(the  density) , 9.8 m/s^2 for g (acceleration due to gravity) , 0.4m for h (the height )

We have that the pressure difference between the heart and the brain is

              P = 1025 * 9.8 *0.4

                  = 4018 N/m^2

But the pressure of blood at the heart is given as

               P_h=120 mm of Hg = 120 * 133 =  1.59*10^3Pa

Now the pressure at the brain is mathematically evaluated as

                 P_b = P_h - P

                     = 1.596*10^4 - 4018

                     = 11982 N/m^2

                      P_b= \frac{11982}{133} = 89.872 \ mm \ of \ Hg

Three balls are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density less than the den
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

Explanation:

Ball 1 is floating on water. Weight of ball 1 is Fg=m1g  is acting vertically downward

Force of buoyancy FB = ρVdisg is acting vertically upward.

Net force acting on the ball is zero, FB=Fg

Answer

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

The tonga trench in the pacific ocean is 36,000 feet deep. assuming that sea water has an average density of 1.04 g/cm3, calcula
MakcuM [25]
1110 atm    

Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet. 

 36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm   

 Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass. 

 1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2   

 We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).  

 It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.   

 1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2 

 11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals   

 Now to convert to atm 

 111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm   

 Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result). 

 1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm   

 And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.
