The answer is true about the cabins in commercial airliners that require pressurization.

<h3>Why are the cabins of commercial airplanes pressurized?</h3>

Airplanes are pressurized because the air is very thin at the high altitude where they fly. The passenger jet has a cruising altitude of about 30,000 - 40,000 feet. At this altitude or height, humans can't breathe very well and our body gets less amount of oxygen. Most aircraft cabins are pressurized to an altitude about 8,000 feet. This is called cabin altitude. Aircraft pilots have access to the control's mode of a cabin pressure control system and if needed it can command the cabin to depressurize.

So we can conclude that cabins in commercial airliners require pressurization because of the greater pressure of the surrounding environment.

An inductor is connected to a 26.5 Hz power supply that produces a 41.2 V rms voltage. What minimum inductance is needed to keep
alexira [117]

Answer:

The minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the AC, f = 26.5 Hz

the root mean square voltage in the circuit, V_{rms} = 41.2 V

the maximum current in the circuit, I₀ = 126 mA

The root mean square current is given by;

I_{rms} = \frac{I_o}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\I_{rms}  = \frac{126*10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2} }\\\\I_{rms}  =0.0891 \ A

The inductive reactance is given by;

X_l = \frac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}} \\\\X_l= \frac{41.2}{0.0891}\\\\X_l = 462.4 \ ohms

The minimum inductance needed is given by;

X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi  fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2\pi f}\\\\L = \frac{462.4}{2\pi *26.5}\\\\L = 2.78 \ H

Therefore, the minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

What happens to the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid if the pressure in one part is increased?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The pressure will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the confined fluid causing a general increase in pressure throughout the container.

Explanation:

This is in line with pascal's law of pressure which states that the pressure exerted on a given mass of fluid is transmitted undiminished to other parts of the fluid.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by:W= m*g

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} })

Therefore,

m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}

m_{1} = 1478.08  kg

Similarly,

m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}

m_{2} = 489.29  kg

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

F =  \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }

G= gravitational constant (6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2})

m_{1} , m_{2}= masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

A tin can collapses if all air inside it is taken out why
Veseljchak [2.6K]

That only happens when the tin can is IN air.

In the familiar, comfy part of Earth's atmosphere where we live, the normal pressure of air is around 14.6 pounds on every square inch of everything. That's a big part of the reason why we're built with bodies that generate that same amount of pressure on the INSIDE pressing OUT. That way, we always have the same pressure pushing in both directions, so we know that we won't get crushed or blow up like balloons.

But we have to be careful with our bodies or other things when they're in places where the atmospheric pressure on the outside is NOT normal.

-- When a deep-sea diver goes hundreds of feet down in the ocean, and the pressure of the water is much GREATER than normal air.

-- When an astronaut has to go outside ... where there's NO air ... and fix something on the International Space Station.

When the pressure on the outside becomes very unusual, we have to wear special suits to protect our bodies from the unusual conditions.

The tin can in the story is a lot like our bodies. As long as it has air inside and air outside, the pressure is the same in both directions, so there's no particular force trying to deform the can. But ...

-- If you seal the can with the air inside it, take the can into a vacuum chamber, and pump the air out of the vacuum chamber, then the can only has pressure inside. It'll expand, and eventually spring a little hole in the metal, and all the air inside will blow out.

-- If you take all the air OUT of the can (so the can is REALLY 'empty'), then the pressure on it is all from the outside. In that situation, the can simply collapses, because there's nothing inside to provide pressure in the outward direction.

One more little thing to think about:

When you want some toothpaste to come drizzling out of the tube onto your brush, what do you do ? Do you perhaps squeeze the tube, and increase the pressure on the outside ?
