Answer:

The fluid level difference in the manometer arm = 22.56 ft.

Explanation:

Assumption: The fluid in the manometer is incompressible, that is, its density is constant.

The fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer gives the gage pressure of the air in the tank.

And P(gage) = ρgh

ρ = density of the manometer fluid = 60 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

ρg = 60 × 32.2 = 1932 lbm/ft²s²

ρg = 1932 lbm/ft²s² × 1lbf.s²/32.2lbm.ft = 60 lbf/ft³

h = fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer = ?

P(gage) = 9.4 psig = 9.4 × 144 = 1353.6 lbf/ft²

1353.6 = ρg × h = 60 lbf/ft³ × h

h = 1353.6/60 = 22.56 ft

A diagrammatic representation of this setup is presented in the attached image.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) T = 2·π·r/v

(b) 3.3 % change in period of the under-inflated tire compared to the properly inflated tire

(c) Therefore the distance this car would have to travel in order for under-inflated tire to make one more complete rotation than the inflated tire is 57.685 meters.

Explanation:

(a) The period T = 2π/ω

The velocity v = ωr or ω = v/r

Therefore T = 2π/(v/r) = 2πr/v

T = 2·π·r/v

(b) Period of properly inflated tire with radius = 303 mm is 2π303/v

Period of under-inflated tire with radius = 293 mm is 2π293/v

Therefore we have percentage change in period of  of the under-inflated tire compared to the properly inflated tire is given by

(2π303/v -2π293/v)/(2π303/v) = 2π10/v/(2π303/v) = 10/303 × 100 = 3.3 %

(c) The period of the under-inflated tire is 10/303 less than that of the inflated tire. Therefore for the under-inflated tire to make one complete turn more than the inflated tire, we have 1/(10/303)  = 303/10 or 30.3 revolutions of either tire which is 30.3×2×π×303 = 57685.296 mm = 57.685 meters

Therefore the distance this car would have to travel in order for under-inflated tire to make one more complete rotation than the inflated tire is 57.685 meters

At 30.3 revolutions the distance covered by the under-inflated

= 55781.49 mm

Subtracting the two distances gives

1903.805 mm

The circumference of the inflated tire = 2×π×303 = 1903.805 mm
