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.

Which statement describes a property of a magnet? A. It attracts ferrous materials. B. It could have only one pole (north or sou
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

It attracts ferrous materials

Explanation:

A magnet attracts ferrous materials A ferrous materials are metallic substances or conductors that can conduct heat and electricity. Example of this ferrous materials includes iron, metal etc. Since magnets only can attracts metallic substance to itself, then we can also conclude that they attract ferrous materials since ferrous materials. possesses properties of a metal.

Magnets possesses both north and south poles.

The same of the bar magnets are known to repel each other while unlike poles attract each other.

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2

0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2}  \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}

Also;

\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}

Thus;

k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}

where;

\delta = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}

k = 104.82\ \  N/m

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

b

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3  \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3}  \omega_3^2 +  \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0

\frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2  + k(\sqrt{h^2+a^2+2ah sin \theta } - \sqrt{h^2+a^2})^2 - mg(a+b)sin \theta = 0

\frac{1.53(0.6+0.6)^2}{3} \omega_3^2  + 104.82(\sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2+2(0.6*0.6) sin 32 } - \sqrt{0.6^2+0.6^2})^2 - (1.53*9.81)(0.6+0.2)sin \ 32 = 0

0.7344 \omega_3^2 = 2.128

\omega _3 = \sqrt{\frac{2.128}{0.7344} }

\omega _3 =1.70 \ rad/s

Thus, the angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.
