A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.0 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.

62 MPa. The tank will be constructed from steel that has a yield strength of 295 MPa. If a factor of safety of 3.0 with respect to the yield strength is required, determine the minimum wall thickness tmin required for the spherical tank.

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

Tmin = The minimum wall thickness =PD/2бp

where D = diameter of 8.0 m

Internal pressure = 1.62 MPa

Then

The yield strength = 295MPa/3.0 = 98.33

thus,

PD/2бp = 1.62 * 8000/ 2 *98.33

= 12960/196.66 = 65.90

Therefore the wall thickness Tmin required for the spherical tank is 65.90mm

Does the number of particles change as the substance changes its state?​
Leviafan [203]

Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas. ... When substances change state there is no change in mass so if 100 g of ice is melted 100g of water are formed this will boil to form 100g of steam (this is called "conservation of mass").

A light ray bounces off a fish in your aquarium. It travels
frutty [35]

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Because the light can't travel as quickly in the water as it does in the air, the light bends around the pencil, causing it to look bent in the water. Basically, the light refraction gives the pencil a slight magnifying effect, which makes the angle appear bigger than it actually is, causing the pencil to look crooked.

(a) calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the earth is
kakasveta [241]

(a) The value of the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r=6371 km=6.371 \cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius at the pole

If we use the value for g given by the problem, g=9.830 m/s^2, and we rearrange the equation above, we find the value of the Earth's mass:

M=\frac{gr^2}{G}=\frac{(9.830 m/s^2)(6.371 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}}=5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg

(b) The value we found for the Earth's mass is 5.982 \cdot 10^{24} kg, and we see that this value is slightly larger than the accepted value of 5.979 \cdot 10^{24} kg.

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 10 m above level ground. The projectile lands a horizontal distance of 15 m
Degger [83]

Answer:

a)t  = 1,43 s

b) V = 10,49 m/s

c) V₀ₓ = 10,49 m/s   ;    V₀y = 14,01 m/s

d) Vf = 17,5 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem statement

V₀ = V₀ₓ    and  V₀y = 0

And at the end of the movement t = ?  the distance y = 10 m

Therefore as

h = V₀y - (1/2)*g*t²

Vertical distance y = h = 10 = V₀y*t - 0,5 (-9,8)*t²

10 = 4,9*t²

t² = 10/4,9    ⇒  t² = 2,04 s

t  = 1,43 s

a) 1,43 s is the time of movement

b) V₀ = V₀ₓ        V₀y = 0     and  V₀ₓ = Vₓ     ( constant )

Just before touching the ground, the horizontal distance is

hd = 15 = Vₓ * t

Then  15 /1,43 = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 10,49 m/s

Then initial speed is V = 10,49 m/s    since V₀y = 0

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vyf = V₀y - g*t

Vyf =  0 - 9,8 *1,43

Vyf = - 14,01 m/s

And finally the speed when the projectile strike the ground is:

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vf = √ (10,49)² + (14,01)²

Vf = 17,50 m/s
