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

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3 m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick to
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of impulse, |J| = 4 kg-m/s                                                                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cart 1, m_1=2\ kg

Mass of cart 2, m_2=4\ kg  

Initial speed of cart 1, u_1=3\ m/s          

Initial speed of cart 2, u_2=0 (stationary)

The carts stick together. It is the case of inelastic collision. Let V is the combined speed of both carts. The momentum remains conserved.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}        

V=\dfrac{2\times 3}{(2+4)}

V = 1 m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other is given by:

J=F\times t=m(V-u)

J=m(V-u)

J=2\times (1-3)    

J = -4 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 4 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other 4 kg-m/s. Hence, this is required solution.

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block
solniwko [45]
We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is
Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

F = AY\alpha \Delta T

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

\alpha= Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

\Delta T= Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

A = 4.45cm^2

T = 37K

\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}

Y = 200*10^9Gpa

Replacing we have,

F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)

F = 38526.1N

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm
