A barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a va

cuum at the top of the barometer). On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion). (a) Determine the barometric pressure in psia. If the ambient temperature increased to 85oF and the barometric pressure did not change, (b) would the mercury column be longer, be shorter, or remain the same length

Answer:

(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;

=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"

=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."

With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;

(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].

The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.

Length of mercury = 27.8 in.

AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

the gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down, a pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 18.0 m/s by u
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
To have a weight of 2.21N., the ball's mass is (2.21/9.8) = .226kg. 
<span>a) d = 1/2 (vt), = 1/2 (18 x .17), = 1.53m. </span>
<span>b) Acceleration of the ball = (v/t), = 18/.17, = 105.88m/sec^2. </span>
<span>f = (ma), = .226 x 105.88, = 23.92N. </span>

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
