A barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a va

cuum at the top of the barometer). On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion). (a) Determine the barometric pressure in psia. If the ambient temperature increased to 85oF and the barometric pressure did not change, (b) would the mercury column be longer, be shorter, or remain the same length

Answer:

(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;

=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"

=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."

With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;

(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].

The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.

Length of mercury = 27.8 in.

AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Answer:

His third law states that for every action or force in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

The heavier the books get, the harder it is for Molly to exert enough force to move the cart.

A 0.023 kg golf ball moving at 18.9 m/s crashes through the window of a house in 5.4 × 10−4 s. After the crash, the ball contin-
PolarNik [594]
Force can be expressed as the time-rate change of momentum

Mathematically, Force = Change in momentum/change in time

Change in momentum = m(10.1-18.9) = -0.2024

Force = -2024/5.4 = -375N(approx)

The significance of the '-' sign is that the direction of force is the opposite that of the direction of our velocities since we assumed them to be positive.

Also this is the force on the ball, the force on the window will be equal and opposite.
