Answer: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2+ ...+ 1/Rn
R is resistance of system in which there are resistors R1, R2 , ... Rn parallel.
Answer: 40
Explanation:
= 34 + 5 * 1.2465
= 40.2325
= 40
The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.
32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.
Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.
Correct question is;
A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).
Answer:
ΔT = 268.67K
Explanation:
We are given;
d1 = 8mm
d2 = 1mm
At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.
Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,
Using the combined gas law, we have;
P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2
The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah
Thus;
V1 = (πd1²/4)h
V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h
Thus;
(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2
π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;
d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2
T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²
T2 = (1² × T1)/8²
T2 = 273/64
T2 = 4.23K
Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 273 - 4.23
ΔT = 268.67K
Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K
