V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .

<h3>What is density ?</h3>

We use the word "density" to indicate how much space (or "volume") an object or substance occupies in relation to the amount of matter contained therein (its mass).
Density can also be defined as the quantity of mass per unit of volume. A dense object is one that is both hefty and small.

Given,

1000 kg/m3 = density of water

920 kg/m3 = density of ice

BF = Woman Weight + Slab Weight

Pvg = 75 + Pvg

V = 75 kg / (1000 - 920)

V = 75 / 80

V = 0.9375 m3

Therefore, V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .

(d) If η = 40% and TH = 427°C, what is TC, in °C?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$T_C=256.2^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Efficiency of heat engine, $\eta=40\%=0.4$

Temperature of hot source, $T_H=427^{\circ}C$

We need to find the temperature of cold sink i.e. $T_C$ . The efficiency of heat engine is given by :

$\eta=1-\dfrac{T_C}{T_H}$

$T_C=(1-\eta)T_H$

$T_C=(1-0.4)\times 427$

$T_C=256.2^{\circ}C$

So, the temperature of the cold sink is 256.2°C. Hence, this is the required solution.

a coin press creates a pressure of 3.20*10^8 Pa on a nickel of radius 0.0106 m. how much force does the press exert on the coin?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.13 x 10⁵N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the coin press = 3.2 x 10⁸ Pa

radius of the nickel coin = 0.0106m

Unknown:

Force of the press on coil = ?

Solution:

Our knowledge of pressure will help us solve this problem.

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area on a body.

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

Force = Pressure x Area

Since the pressure is known;

Area of the coin = Area of a circle = π r²

where r is the radius of the coin;

Area of the coin = π x 0.0106² = 3.53 x 10⁻⁴m²

Force = 3.2 x 10⁸ x 3.53 x 10⁻⁴ = 1.13 x 10⁵N

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi

algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire $\rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}$

Density of copper wire $\rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3$

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A$

$\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2$

$\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}$

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{s}=170.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}$

$v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}$

$v_{c}=159.9\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires

$t=t_{s}+t_{c}$

$t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}$

$t=0.458\ sec$

$t=458\ ms$

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.
