Explain why ventilation is very important if there is risk of exposure to random gas in your home school

bonufazy [111]

Ventilation is very important because it helps remove the gas form people’s homes and schools and it redirects the random gas outside so it is less likely to hurt people

Normal atmospheric pressure is 1.013 105 Pa. The approach of a storm causes the height of a mercury barometer to drop by 27.1 mm

Burka [1]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure is $0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure $P_{atm}= 1.013\times10^{5}\ Pa$

drop height h'= 27.1 mm

Density of mercury $\rho= 13.59 g/cm^3$

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of pressure

$p = \rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.013\times10^{5}=13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times h$

$h =\dfrac{1.013\times10^{5}}{13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8}$

$h=0.76\ m$

We need to calculate the new height

$h''=h - h'$

$h''=0.76-27.1\times10^{-3}$

$h''=0.76-0.027$

$h''=0.733\ m$

We need to calculate the atmospheric pressure

Using formula of atmospheric pressure

$P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$P= 13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times0.733$

$P=0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, The atmospheric pressure is $0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$
