Explanation:
Step 1:
The pressure exerted by any liquid column of height, h density d is given by the formula P = h * d * g
Step 2:
It is given that one atmosphere pressure pushes up 76.0 cm of mercury, we need to calculate the level of water that will be pushed by the same pressure.
Step 3:
Since the pressure pushing up mercury and water is the same
*
* g =
*
* g
=
= (13.6 g/cm * 76 cm)/1 g/cm = 1033.6 cm
Step 4:
Now we need to express the answer in meters.
1 m = 100 cm.
1033.6 cm = 10.336 m
This can be rounded off to 10.3 m
Answer:
The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.
Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy
Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall
=
Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy
+
=
+
(a)
When banana is at height h, it has
= 0 and
= mgh
and when it reaches the river, it has
= 1/2m
and
= 0
Putting the values in equation (a)
0 + mgh = 1/2m + 0
mgh = 1/2m
<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>
<em> </em>gh = 1/2
v =
Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is
v =
