The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multi-fluid manometer as shown. determine the gage

pressure of air in the tank if h1 = 0.2 m, h2 = 0.3 m, and h3 = 0.46 m. take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3 , 850 kg/m3 , and 13,600 kg/m3 , respectively

Answer : 56.9 kPa

Solution : Given :-

ρ (H_{2} O) = 1000 kg/m^{3} ; ρ (oil) = 850 kg/m^{3}; ρ (Hg) = 13,600 kg/m^{3}

h_{1} = 0.2 m; h_{2} = 0.3 m; h_{3} = 0.46 m

Formula : P_{1} + ρ (H_{2} O) g h_{1} + ρ (oil)g h_{2} - ρ (Hg) g h_{3} = P_{atm}

On rearranging we get,

P_{1} = P_{atm} - ρ (H_{2} O) g h_{1} - ρ (oil)g h_{2} + ρ (Hg) g h_{3}

Now,

P_{1} - P_{atm} = g (ρ (Hg) h_{3} - ρ (H_{2} O) h_{1} - ρ (oil)h_{2})

We know that, P_{1} - P_{atm} = P_{1}_gage

On substitution we get,

= (9.81 m/s^2) X [13,600 kg/m^3) X (0.46m) - (1000kg/m^3) X (0.2 m)- (850kg/m^3) X (0.3m) X X\frac{1N} {1kg . m/s^{2}} X \frac {1kPa} {1000. N/m^{2}}

= 56.9 kPa.

Therefore, P_{1}_gage = 56.9 kPa.

There is something wrong with the given, the second should be 3, 850 kg/m3. So here is the answer for this question:
The formula is P1 + Pwatergh1 + Poilgh2 - Pmercurygh3 = Patm
In order to solve for P1 we need to rearrange the formula, so it will look like:P1 = P atm - Pwatergh1 - Poilgh2 + Pmercurygh3
Noting that P1gage would be equal to P1 - Patm and we can substitute the given above:P1,gage = (9.81 m/s^2)[13,600 kg/m^3)(0.46m) - (1000kg/m^3)(0.2 m)
= (850kg/m^3)(0.3m) (1N / 1kg * m/s^2) (1kPa/ 1000 N/m^2)
= 56.9 kPa

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the averag
CaHeK987 [17]

The speed of tsunami is a.0.32 km. 

Steps involved  :

The equation s = 356d models the maximum speed that a tsunami can move at. It reads as follows: s = 200 km/h d =?

Let's now change s to s in the equation to determine d: s = 356√d 200 = 356√d √d = 200 ÷ 356 √d = 0.562 Let's square the equation now by squaring both sides: (√d)² = (0.562) ² d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

As a result, 0.32 km is roughly the depth (d) of water for a tsunami moving at 200 km/h.

marysya [2.9K]
I have a formula here that might just help you solve the problem on your own:

The number of images depends on the angle between the two mirrors. The number of images formed in two plane mirrors inclined at an angle A to each other is given by the formula:

Number of images = 360<span>/A - 1.

How can Newton's laws be applied to protect a smartphone screen during a collision?
Sonja [21]

smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.

force causes material to deform.

material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.

newton's 2nd law states

force = DV / DT

to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force

thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .

the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.

therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases
