A sealed pressure cooker allows steam to escape only through an opening in the lid. a separate metal object, called a petcock, s

its on top of the opening and prevents steam from leaving until the pressure within the cooker overcomes the weight of the petcock. the petcock and the periodic escape of steam prevents the dangerous buildup of pressure and keeps the pressure inside the cooker above atmospheric pressure. determine the mass of the petcock of a pressure cooker whose operational pressure is 100 kpa gage and has a round opening 4 mm in diameter. assume atmospheric pressure is 101 kpa.

The mass of the petcock of the pressure cooker is  0.257 kg.

The total pressure inside the cooker is= atmospheric pressure+Gauge pressure

=100 kPa+101 kPa=201*10^3 Pa

The area of the petcock is= (π/4)d^2=0.785*0.004^2=12.56*10^(-6) m^2

Now the mass of the petcock is calculated as

P=(F/A)=(mg/A)

201*10^3=(m*9.81/(12.56*10^(-6)

m=0.257 kg

Therefore the mass of the petcock is 0.257 kg

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?
Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

Two 2 kg masses is placed at either end of a rod that has a mass of .5 kg and a length of 3 m. What is the moment of inertia if
sergij07 [2.7K]

Explanation:

a) I=\displaystyle \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2

where r_i is the distance of the mass m_i from the axis of rotation. When the axis of rotation is placed at the end of the rod, the moment of inertia is due only to one mass. Therefore,

I= mr^2 = (2\:kg)(3\:m)^2 = 18\:kg-m^2

b) When the axis of rotation is placed on the center of the rod, the moment is due to both masses and the radius r is 1.5 m. Therefore,

\displaystyle I= \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2 = 2(2\:kg)(1.5\:m)^2 = 9\:kg-m^2

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?
Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

A roller coaster has a vertical loop with radius 25.7 m. With what minimum speed should the roller-coaster car be moving at the
gogolik [260]

Answer:

15.88m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

F_g = F_c\\mg = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{9.81 \times 25.7}  = 15.88 m/s
