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

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?
disa [49]

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]

Define "increased productivity" in terms of the number of tasks and the amount of time.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The greater the amount of output for a given unit of input, the higher the overall productivity. Businesses generally aim to improve productivity over time to maintain competitiveness and increase the business's profitability. Individuals are familiar with the idea of productivity in their own lives.

(i) (a) what is the force per meter of length on a straight wire carrying a 9.75 a current when perpendicular to a 0.81 t unifor
Andrew [12]
The force generated by a magnetic field B perpendicular to a wire carrying a current I is
F=ILB
where L is the length of the wire.

If we divide both sides for L, we get
\frac{F}{L}=IB
where the ratio on the left is the force per meter of length, which is exactly what we want to find. So:
\frac{F}{L}=IB=(9.75 A)(0.81 A)=7.90 N/m

Why does the sun have less gravitational pull on planet far away like Pluto?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Because the planet is far away from the sun

Explanation:

The closer the planet is to the Sun, the greater the pull of the Sun's gravity, and the faster the planet orbits.

While, over here the Pluto is very far away from the Sun so it will have very little gravitational  pull and still keeps revolving around the Sun

Help quick<br> p;leaseeeeeeeeeeee its about direction and magnitude
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

The net force of each square is the combination of the forces in each direction. The direction is the... direction the square would go in due to the net force. The magnitude of the net force is how large it is. So if you had a force pushing 2N to the left and 1N to the right, then the net force would be 1N to the left; because the two oppose eachother. If they were going in the same direction, then they'd add to each other. And perpendicular net forces (like one pushing up and another pushing left) can create net forces in diagonal directions.

I'm not going to do all of these for you because they're basically all the same thing and it's good practice for you anyway. But I'll do the first three just so you can get the idea:

1. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the right.

2. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the left.

3. The net force's magnitude is 0N and it has no direction because they are equal forces acting in opposite directions.
