Answer:

The surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

error = 13.65%

Explanation:

The surface tension of water is given by

$ \gamma = \frac{F}{L} $

Where F is the force acting on water and L is the length over which is force is acted.

We are given the mass of 100 droplets of water

M = 3.78 g

n = 100

The mass of 1 droplet is given by

m = \frac{M}{n} \\\\m = \frac{3.78}{100}\\\\m =  0.0378 \: g \\\\m = 3.780\times10^{-5} \: kg

The force acting on a single droplet of water is given by

F = m \cdot g

Where m is the mass of water droplet and g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 3.780\times10^{-5} \cdot 9.81

F = 3.708\times10^{-4} \: N

The circumferential length of the droplet is given by

L = \pi \cdot d

Where d is the diameter

L = \pi \cdot 1.88\times10^{-3}\\\\L = 5.906 \times10^{-3} \: m

Now we can find out the required surface tension of the water

\gamma = \frac{3.708\times10^{-4} }{5.906 \times10^{-3}} \\\\\gamma = 0.06278\: N/m\\\\\gamma = 6.278 \times10^{-2} \: N/m\\\\

Therefore, the surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

The tabulated value of the surface tension of water at 20 °C is given by

$ \gamma_t = 0.0727 \: N/m $

The percentage error between tabulated and calculated surface tension is given by

$ error = \frac{\gamma_t - \gamma }{\gamma_t} $

$ error = \frac{ 0.0727 - 0.06278}{0.0727} \times 100\% $

$ error = 13.65 \%

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

                              = Change in potential energy of water per second

                              =mgh / t

                              = 200× 10×6 / 10

                              = 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} × 100%

                = 80 %

Why does the current splits in parallel circuit and why does the voltage remains equal?​
Xelga [282]

<u>Voltage:</u>

It is basically the difference between the charges of the materials on the ends of the Wire

<em>also known as potential difference</em>

It is very similar to the movement of air, it moves from higher density to lower density. in this case, the change in density is the potential difference

So, since voltage is the difference between the charge available on the ends of a wire. Even if the wire splits in parallel circuit, the difference of the charges remains the same

<em>the more the potential difference, the faster electrons will move to the material with lower charge</em>

<u>Current:</u>

Current is the amount of electrons moving through a cross-section of a wire in a period of time

So basically, it is the amount of electrons that move across a given point on a wire in a period of time

If the wire splits, we will have the same amount of electrons moving through as they would if the wire was not split but now, the electrons passing are divided and hence, if we measure the current after the split, we will find that we have a lower current

that's because we have less charge moving through the cross-section of the wire since some of those electrons are moving through a different wire

That's why the current splits in a parallel circuit
