How does pressure affect surface tension

1 answer:

3 0

the effect of pressure on surface tension can be attributed in part to absorption of gas at the surface of the liquid and in part to an intrinsic decrease in density of the liquid in the neighborhood of the surface.

In the case of liquids , Owing to contact forces between the edge of the surface and the vessel, the surface acquires a curvature, and if the liquid rises up at the edges where it meets the vessel, the pressure will be less in the liquid than in the air, for points just below and just above the surface. The vessel exerts an upward force on the liquid. This is simply a matter of looking at the directions of forces acting, knowing that the surface is under tension.

Newton's first law states that objects do not change their velocity unless acted upon

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Air resistance/Drag (this is the proper term for air resistance) or gravity or friction

It depends on the direction and if you throw it across a surface or if you throw it straight upwards.

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.7 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.048 m, using a string of length 0

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Tension in the string is equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 1.7 kg

radius of the circle r = 0.48 m $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

Kinetic energy is given 14 J

Kinetic energy is equal to $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So $\frac{1}{2}\times 1.7\times v^2=14$

$v^2=16.47$

v = 4.05 m/sec

Centripetal force is equal to $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

So tension in the string will be equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

Answer:

Explanation:

A theory can be changed when new evidence is found. A law doesn't change because it is universally a fact. It doesn't need new evidence to support it.
