A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h

eight between the two arms of the manometer is 28 in. if the local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia, determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the manometer arm with the (a) higher and (b) lower fluid level being attached to the tank.

Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia

Which of the following statements are true of thermal energy and kinetic energy?
Irina-Kira [14]
This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."

Answers: 

A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.

B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.

D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.

The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.

Hope this helps!

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
