How did foucaults pendulum and coriolis effect are used to demonstrate earths tilt?

1 answer:

7 0

They do not demonstrate Earth's tilt. In fact, they're not "used" to demonstrate anything. It works the other way:. When you observe the Coriolis effect and the behavior of the Foucault pendulum, and you try to explain why the behave the way they do, one possible simple explanation for both of them is the Earth's ROTATION. Then, when you also observe the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and you also notice how the NUMBERS all go together, the case for the rotating, spherical Earth gets stronger and stronger.

A tank contains 350 liters of fluid in which 10 grams of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pu

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

$A(t) = -340e^{-t/70} + 350$

Explanation:

Since fluid is pumping in and out at the same rate (5L/min), the total fluid volume in the tank stays constant at 350L. Only the amount of salt and its concentration changed overtime.

Let A(t) be the amount of salt (g) at time t and C(t) (g/L) be the concentration at time t

A(0) = 10 g

Brine with concentration of 1g/L is pouring in at the rate of 5L/min so the salt income rate is 5 g/min

The well-mixed solution is pouring out at the rate of 5L/min at concentration C(t) so the salt outcome rate is 5C g/min

But the concentration is total amount of salt over 350L constant volume

C = A / 350

Therefore our rate of change for salt A' is

A' = 5 - 5A/350 = 5 - A/70

This is a first-order linear ordinary differential equation and it has the form of y' = a + by. The solution of this is

$y = ce^{bt} + \frac{a}{b}$

So $A = ce^{\frac{-t}{70}} + \frac{5}{1/70} = ce^{-t/70} + 350$

with A(0) = 10

c + 350 = 10

c = 10 - 350 = -340

$A(t) = -340e^{-t/70} + 350$

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.0 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

Tmin = The minimum wall thickness =PD/2бp

where D = diameter of 8.0 m

Internal pressure = 1.62 MPa

Then

The yield strength = 295MPa/3.0 = 98.33

thus,

PD/2бp = 1.62 * 8000/ 2 *98.33

= 12960/196.66 = 65.90

Therefore the wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm
