The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f

loor) is 98.2 kPa.
Determine the height of the building if the air density is assumed to be independent of the height, being 1.16 kg/m³, while the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 N/kg.

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in
Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}

\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}

Given:-

{T}_{1} = 275 \; K  

{T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)

{V}_{1}  = V

{V}_{2} = 6V

\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;    (the gas is monoatomic)

\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}

 

\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}  

T  =  275 \times 0.30

T  =  83 K.

In the parallel spring system, the springs are positioned so that the 37 N weight stretches each spring equally. The spring cons
Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 5.29 m

Explanation:

given,

weight of stretch = 37 N

left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm

right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm

spring are connected in parallel

F = F₁ + F₂

F = k₁x + k₂x

F = (k₁+ k₂)x

37= (4.3+ 2.7)x

7 x = 37

x = 5.29 m

Acceleration question plz help
andrezito [222]
For #5 It's helpful to draw a free body diagram so you know which way the forces are acting on the block.

the weight mg is acting downwards, and you need to find the vertical and horizontal components of mg using sin and cosine. so do 15x9.8xsin40 which is the force. Assuming no friction, this is the only force acting on the block, as the forces on the vertical plane cancel out i.e the normal force and weight of the block.

after, just do F=ma And since you know F and m, solve for a.
