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

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion  of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}

k = 2.522 \frac{N}{m}

New mass(m_1) = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion  of new mass.

An object with height h, mass M, and a uniform cross-sectional area A floats upright in a liquid with density ρ.
soldi70 [24.7K]
** Missing information: The vertical distance from surface of liquid to bottom of the object is sought in this question, with the condition that the object is at equilibrium **

Ans: The vertical distance = y = M/(ρA)

Explanation:

Support the vertical distance = y

Object's density = M/(A*h) (since A*h = volume)

By applying the condition, 

(M/(Ah))/ρ = y/h

M/(ρAh) = y/h

y = M/(ρA)

Explanation:

the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it.

A good example of this is culture. Collectivism in cultural terms refers to a culture that privileges family and community over individuals. For example, children in collectivist societies are likely to take care of elderly parents if they fall ill and will change their own plans in the event of a family emergency.
