In 1656, the Burgmeister (mayor) of the town of Magdeburg, Germany, Otto Von Guericke, carried out a dramatic demonstration of t

he effect resulting from evacuating air from a container. It is the basis for this problem. Two steel hemispheres of radius 0.430 m (1.41 feet) with a rubber seal in between are placed together and air pumped out so that the pressure inside is 15.00 millibar. The atmospheric pressure outside is 940 millibar.
1. Calculate the force required to pull the two hemispheres apart. [Note: 1 millibar=100 N/m2. One atmosphere is 1013 millibar = 1.013×105 N/m2 ]
2. Two equal teams of horses, are attached to the hemispheres to pull it apart. If each horse can pull with a force of 1450N (i.e., about 326 lbs), what is the minimum number of horses required?

The force required to pull the two hemispheres is 46622.72N

<h3>Calculation and Parameters</h3>

( Note: 1 millibar=100 N/m2. One atmosphere is 1013 millibar = 1.013×105 N/m2 ]

The contact area between the hemispheres is (pi x 0.400^2) = 0.5024m^2.

Pressure difference = (940 - 12)

= 928 millibars.

(928 x 100)

= 92,800N/m^2.

Therefore, the required force to pull the two hemispheres is

(92800 x 0.5024)

= 46622.72N.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because everything on Earth falls at the same speed, the masses of the balls do not matter. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, their speeds will both be increasing at the same rate, and therefore the difference in speeds would remain constant until they hit the ground. Hope this helps!

What are some ways you can vary your tone of voice to help you communicate effectively with others? A. Speaking aggressively
Leno4ka [110]
The answer is D, talking more loudly or quietly.
<span>
An expressive voice can bring totally different meaning to what you are saying. If you speak in a monotone voice, you are implying that you do not care about what you are saying or what the other person is talking about. If you speak expressively with some parts quieter or louder to make a point, it lets the listener know that you care about what you are saying and you care about what they have to say too. You can also emphasize a point by speaking louder or indicate that something is not as important by speaking softer.</span>
