1. Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (m²), what's

Anit [1.1K]

Answers:

1. Firstly, we have to define that Pressure $P$ is Force applied $F$ per unit area $A$ . It is mathematically expressed as follows:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$ (1)

The unit of P is Pascal (Pa) which is equivalent to $\frac{kg}{ms^{2}}$ and also equivalent to $\frac{N}{m^{2} }$

There is also another expression of the Pressure in which it is dependent on the density $d$ of the liquid, the height $h$ of the container and the gravity force $g$ :

$P=d*h*g$ (2)

In this problem the liquid is water, and its known density is approximately:

$d=1000kg/m^{3}$

So, we have to substitute the values in equation (2) to obtain the pressure <u>(Being careful with the units)</u>:

$P=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*10m*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$P=98000Pa$

Then, we have to substitute this value in equation (1) and clear $F$ :

$F=P*A$

Finally:

$F=196000N$

2. For this problem, we will use equation (1) to find the Pressure. We already know the area $A$ and the force exerted by water in the container $F$ :

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{900N}{3m^{2}}$

$P=300Pa$

3. In this case, equation (2) is the perfect way to find the hydrostatic pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank <u>(be careful with the units):</u>

$P=d*h*g$

$P=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*7.5m*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$P=73500Pa$

4. In this case, it's important to know that in fluids (in this case the water) the higher the fluid is, the lower the pressure. Then, if $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are the respective pressures at the heights $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ , and knowing that the water density and the gravity force in this case are constants, we can use the following expression to solve this problem:

$P_{2}- P_{1} =d*g(h_{2}- h_{1})$ (3)

Where:

$P_{1}=1.5 kPa$ at $h_{1}=2m$

Note that $1kPa=1*1000 Pa$

And $P_{2}=?$ is unknown at a given height $h_{2}=6m$

Then, we have to substitute the values in equation (3) to find $P_{2}$ :

$P_{2}-1500Pa=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} (6m-2m)$

Finally: $P_{2} =40700Pa$

5. In this case we have the area $A=0.75m^{2}$ and the mass of the piston $m=200kg$ , and we need to know the pressure $P$ .

We will use equation (1):

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

But, <u>do you remember that above we stated that pressure is the force applied over an area?</u>

Well, in this case we will use the following equation, in which the gravity force and the mass of a body are involved, to find $F$ :

$F=m*g=200kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Then:

$F=1960N$

Now we can finally calculate $P$ :

$P=\frac{1960N}{0.75m^{2}}$

$P=2613.33Pa$

Find a numerical value for ρearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. use 6378km for the radius of t

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

5501 kg/m^3

Explanation:

The value of g at the Earth's surface is

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}=9.70 m/s^2$

where G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

$R=6378km = 6.378 \cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

Solving the formula for M, we find the value of the Earth's mass:

$M=\frac{gR^2}{G}=\frac{(9.81 m/s^2)(6.378\cdot 10^6 m)^2}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}}=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$

The Earth's volume is (approximating the Earth to a perfect sphere)

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (6.378\cdot 10^6 m)^3=1.087\cdot 10^{21} m^3$

So, the average density of the Earth is

$\rho = \frac{M}{V}=\frac{5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg}{1.087\cdot 10^{21} m^3}=5501 kg/m^3$

Which one of the following statements is true concerning the magnitude of the electric field at a point in space? It is a measur

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

It is a measure of the electric force per unit charge on a test charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field is defined as the force per charge on the test charge.

Since we define electric field as the force per charge, it will have the units of force divided by the unit of charge. This implies that the SI unit of electric field is given as Newton/Coulomb (N/C).
