Consider two interconnected tanks as shown in the figure above. Tank 1 initial contains 90 L (liters) of water and 290 g of salt

, while tank 2 initially contains 60 L of water and 245 g of salt. Water containing 50 g/L of salt is poured into tank1 at a rate of 3.5 L/min while the mixture flowing into tank 2 contains a salt concentration of 40 g/L of salt and is flowing at the rate of 4 L/min. The two connecting tubes have a flow rate of 6 L/min from tank 1 to tank 2; and of 2.5 L/min from tank 2 back to tank 1. Tank 2 is drained at the rate of 7.5 L/min. You may assume that the solutions in each tank are thoroughly mixed so that the concentration of the mixture leaving any tank along any of the tubes has the same concentration of salt as the tank as a whole. (This is not completely realistic, but as in real physics, we are going to work with the approximate, rather than exact description. The 'real' equations of physics are often too complicated to even write down precisely, much less solve.) How does the water in each tank change over time

Let A_1 be the amount of salt in tank 1 at time t, and A_2 the amount of salt in the tank 2.

The volume of solution in either tank stays constant. In tank 1, at time t (min) we have

90\,\mathrm L+\underbrace{\left(3.5\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}-6\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}+2.5\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right)}_0t=90\,\mathrm L

In tank 2,

60\,\mathrm L+\underbrace{\left(4\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}+6\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}-2.5\frac{\rm L}{\rm min}-7.5\frac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right)}_0t=60\,\mathrm L

Then the concentration of salt in tanks 1 and 2 at any given time is \dfrac{A_1\,\rm g}{90\,\rm L} and \dfrac{A_2\,\rm g}{60\,\rm L}.

The net rate of change of the amount of salt in tanks 1 and 2 follows a simple rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm dA_i}{\mathrm dt}=(\text{rate in})-(\text{rate out})

Each rate is in units of g/min. Each L coming in or going out contributes or removes some salt depending on the flow rate (L/min) and concentration (g/L) of the solution in either tank. For tank 1, we have

\text{rate in}=\left(50\dfrac{\rm g}{\rm L}\right)\left(3.5\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right)+\left(\dfrac{A_2}{60}\dfrac{\rm g}{\rm L}\right)\left(2.5\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right)

\text{rate out}=\left(\dfrac{A_1}{90}\dfrac{\rm g}{\rm L}\right)\left(6\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right)

Then the amount of salt in tank 1 has rate of change (ignoring units)

\dfrac{\mathrm dA_1}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac{A_1}{15}+\dfrac{A_2}{24}+175

A similar breakdown for tank 2 shows a rate of change of

\dfrac{\mathrm dA_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{A_1}{15}-\dfrac{A_2}6+160

In matrix form, the system is described by

\begin{pmatrix}A_1\\A_2\end{pmatrix}'=\begin{pmatrix}-\frac1{15}&\frac1{24}\\\frac1{15}&-\frac16\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}A_1\\A_2\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}175\\160\end{pmatrix}

You can solve this with the usual eigenvalue method and method of undetermined coefficients. You should get a general solution of

\begin{pmatrix}A_1\\A_2\end{pmatrix}=C_1\begin{pmatrix}5\\-6-2\sqrt{19}\end{pmatrix}e^{\frac{-7+\sqrt{19}}{60}t}+C_2\begin{pmatrix}5\\-6+2\sqrt{19}\end{pmatrix}e^{\frac{-7-\sqrt{19}}{60}t}+\begin{pmatrix}4300\\2680\end{pmatrix}

Then use the initial values A_1(0)=290 and A_2(0)=245 to solve for C_1,C_2 and find the particular solution.

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T
Zina [86]

a) Total power output: 3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is 540 W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

I=1360 W/m^2 is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b)

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

E=hf

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

P=\frac{E}{t}

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

P\propto f

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

f_0 = 60 MHz

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

c)

In this second  case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m

Now we can find the radiation intensity with the equation

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where the area is

A=4\pi r'^2 = 4\pi(2.4\cdot 10^{11})^2=7.24\cdot 10^{23} m^2

And substituting,

I=\frac{3.910\cdot 10^{26}}{7.24\cdot 10^{23}}=540 W/m^2

A generator is designed to produce a maximum emf of 190 V while rotating with an angular speed of 3800 rpm. Each coil of the gen
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

Explanation:

Given;

maximum emf of the generator, = 190 V

angular speed of the generator, ω = 3800 rev/min =

area of the coil, A = 0.016 m²

magnetic field, B = 0.052 T

The number of turns of the generator is calculated as;

emf = NABω

where;

N is the number of turns

\omega = 3800 \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s } = 397.99 \ rad/s

N = \frac{emf}{AB\omega } \\\\N = \frac{190}{0.016 \times 0.052\times 397.99} \\\\N = 573.8 \ turns

Therefore, the number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

What is the mass of 3.70 L of water? Remember 1000 L = 1 m^3 (Unit=Kg)
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

3.7kg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume = 3.7L

Mass =?

Next, we shall convert 3.7L to m³.

This is illustrated below:

1000L = 1m³

Therefore, 3.7L = 3.7/1000 = 0.0037m³

Now, we can obtain the mass of the water as shown below:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³

Volume of water = 0.0037m³

Mass of water =..?

Density = Mass /volume

1000kg/m³ = Mass /0.0037m³

Cross multiply

Mass = 1000Kg/m³ × 0.0037m³

Mass = 3.7Kg

Therefore, the mass of the water is 3.7Kg.
