What water pressure must a pump that is located on the first floor supply to have water on the thirteenth of a building with a p

irga5000 [103]

The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The given parameters;

<em>Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI</em>
<em>Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft</em>

The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;

$P = \rho gh\\\\\frac{P}{h} = \rho g\\\\\frac{P}{h} = k\\\\\frac{P_1}{h_1} = \frac{P_2}{h_2} \\\\$

The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft

The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10 ft

$P_1 = \frac{P_2 h_1}{h_2} \\\\P_1 = \frac{35 \times 130}{10} \\\\P_1 = 455 \ PSI$

Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The time period T of a simple pendulum is given by the relation

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$T^2 \propto L$

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

From this equation we can write

$T\propto \sqrt{L}\\T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}$

Taking the square of this equation, we get:

$T^2 = (2\pi)^2 \frac{L}{g}$

So we see that $T^2$ is proportional to L and inversely proportional to g. So, we can write:

$T^2 \propto L\\T^2 \propto \frac{1}{g}$

So the only correct option is

$T^2 \propto L$

Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical waves

Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation.

2. Mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal while electromagnetic waves are transverse.(Transverse waves are waves in which the vibration of the particules of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of wave. E.g water waves, waves of a plucked string and all electromagnetic waves RIVUXG . Longitudinal waves are waves whose vibration are parallel to the direction of the motion of the medium e.g waves in strings, sound waves.e.t.c)
