The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

An open-end mercury manometer is connected to a low-pressure pipeline that supplies a gas to a laboratory. Because paint was spi

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$

$h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the manometer when there is no gas flow is $P_{m} = 15.5 \ psig = 15.5 * 6894.76 = 106868.78 \ N/m^2$

The level of mercury is $h = 950 \ mm = 0.950 \ m$

The drop in the mercury level at the visible arm is $d = 39.0 = 0.039 \ m$

Generally when there is no gas flow the pressure of the manometer is equal to the gauge pressure which is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_m = g * \delta h * \rho$

Here $\rho$ is the density of mercury with value $\rho = 13.6 *10^{3} kg/m^3$

and $\delta h$ is the difference in the level of gas in arm one and two

$\delta h = \frac{106868.78}{ 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 }$

$\delta h = 0.802 \ m$

Generally the height of the mercury at the arm connected to the pipe is mathematically represented as

$h_m = 0.950 - 0.802$

=> $h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Generally from manometry principle we have that

$P_G + \rho * g * d - \rho * g * [h - (h_m + d)] = 0$

Here $P_G$ is the pressure of the gas

$P_G +13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * 0.039 - 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * [0.950 - (0.148 + 0.039)] = 0$

$P_G = 9.6724 04 *10^{4} \ N/m^2$

converting to psig

$P_G = \frac{ 9.6724 04 *10^{4} }{6894.76}$

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$

Aleks [24]

Answer: Average Velocity = - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude = 822.7 m/s

Direction = 141.45°

Explanation:

r = 3.84 x 10^8 m

w = 2.46 x 10^-6 rad/s

Formula for Average velocity = displacement / time

at t = 0

x(0) = r

y(0) = 0

at t = 8.45 days

= 8.45 x 24 x 3600 s =730080 sec

w t = 2.46 x 10^-6 x 730080 = 1.80 rad Or 102.90°

xf = r cos(w t) = - 0.2233r

yf = r sin(w t) = 0.9747r

Displacement = (xf - x0)i + (yf - y0)j = -1.2233r i + 0.9747r j

<v> = dispalcement / t = (-1.2233r i + 0.9747r j ) / (730080 s )

= - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude

= sqrt(643.42^2 + 512.66^2)

= 822.7 m/s

Direction

= 180 - tan^-1(512.66 / 643.42)

= 141.45°
