How much do you know about the water cycle and the impact that humans have on the water cycle?

1 answer:

7 0

The water cycle is the process when water circulates from the oceans on the Earth, the atmosphere, land, this also involves rainfall and snow, sewers in rivers and streams, and then it returns to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration. Humans impact the water cycle by irrigation, urbanization, deforestation, and storing water in reservoirs.

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

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

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$

Which of the following helps to explain how hydraulic lifts work?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer : C. Pascal's principle.

Explaination : Pascal's principle (well-known as Pascal's law) states that if a closed container contains a fluid at rest, then a small change in pressure at one side of the fluid is transmitted to each and every part of the fluid and also to the walls of the container without any loss. In a hydraulic lift, we need the same mechanism to work and so we take the help of Pascal's principle.

Hence, the correct option is C. Pascal's principle.
