A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h

eight between the two arms of the manometer is 28 in. if the local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia, determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the manometer arm with the (a) higher and (b) lower fluid level being attached to the tank.

Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia

Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

A gas has an initial volume of 24.6 L at a pressure of 1.90 atm and a temperature of 335 K. The pressure of the gas increases to
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

the final temperature of the gas is 785.18 K

Explanation:

The computation of the final temperature of the gas is shown below:

Here we apply the gas law

= PV ÷ T

Given that

P1 = 1.9 atm

V1 = 24.6 L

T1 = 335 K  

P2 = 3.5 atm

V2 = 31.3 L  

T2 = ?

Now

P1V1 ÷ T1 = P2V2 ÷ T2

(1.9 × 24.6) ÷ 335 = (3.5 × 31.3)/T2

T2 = 785.18 K

hence, the final temperature of the gas is 785.18 K

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 25.1 Power and Energy in Circuits. A device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The time to boil the water is 877 s

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the external resistance (R) of the circuit, from the description we notice that it is a series circuit, by which the resistors are added

    V = i (r + R)

We replace we calculate

     r + R = V / i

     R = v / i - r

     R = 10/12 -0.04

     R = 0.793 Ω

We calculate the power supplied

     P = V i = I² R

     P = 12² 0.793

     P = 114 W

This is the power dissipated in the external resistance

We use the relationship, that power is work per unit of time and that work is the variation of energy

     P = E / t

     t = E / P

     t = 100 10³/114

     t = 877 s

The time to boil the water is 877 s

A crate slides down a ramp that makes a 20∘ angle with the ground. To keep the crate moving at a steady speed, Paige pushes back
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Hence, work done= 287.54 J

Explanation:

Given data:

angle of ramp with the ground θ =20°

force applied = 76 N

work done on the crate to slide down 4 m down the ramp

W= F×d cosθ ( only the cos component of the force will slide the crate down)

W= 76×4×cos20= 287.54 J

A cannon is mounted on a tower above a wide, level field. The barrel of the cannon is 20 m above the ground below. A cannonball
OLga [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial height from ground = 20 meter.

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

  Substituting

         20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

  So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.
