Answer: Well, let's start by finding the pressure due to the "extra" height of the mercury. p = 1.36e4 kg/mÂł Â· (0.105m - 0.05m) Â· 9.8m/sÂ˛ = 7330 N/mÂ˛ = 7330 Pa The pressure at B is clearly p_b = p_atmos = p_gas + 7330 Pa The pressure at A is p_a = p_gas = p_atmos - 7330 Pa c) 1 atm = 101 325 Pa Then p_gas = 101325 Pa - 7330 Pa = 93 995 Pa

The gas pressure is about 9.40 × 10⁴ Pa

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Hydrostatic Pressure formula as follows:

$\boxed{ P = \rho g h}$

where:

P = hydrosatic pressure ( Pa )

ρ = density of fluid ( kg/m³ )

g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )

h = height of a column of liquid ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Complete Question:

A U-shaped tube is connected to a box at one end and open to the air at the other end. The box is full of gas at pressure pgas, and the tube is filled with mercury of density 1.36 × 10⁴ kg/m³ . When the liquid in the tube reaches static equilibrium, the mercury column is h₁ = 10.5 cm high in the left arm and h₂ = 5.00 cm high in the right arm. Assume p_atmos = 1.00 atm , what is the gas pressure p_gas?

Given:

density of mercury = ρ = 1.36 × 10⁴ kg/m³

atmospheric pressure = p_o = 1.00 atm = 76 cmHg

height difference of liquid column = Δh = 10.5 - 5.00 = 5.5 cm

Asked:

gas pressure = p_gas = ?

Solution:

Because the height difference of mercury column is 5.5 cm , then the pressure difference between the left arm and the right arm will be 5.5 cmHg.

$\Delta p = p_o - p_{gas}$

$5.5 \texttt{ cmHg} = 76 \texttt{ cmHg} - p_{gas}$

$p_{gas} = 76 \texttt{ cmHg} - 5.5 \texttt{ cmHg}$

$p_{gas} = 70.5 \texttt{ cmHg}$

$p_{gas} = 1.36 \times 10^4 \times 9.8 \times 0.705 \texttt{ Pa}$

$p_{gas} = 93962.4 \texttt{ Pa}$

$p_{gas} \approx 9.40 \times 10^4 \texttt{ Pa}$

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i

RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is $2.7 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

where:

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

$\omega=1.7 rad/s$ is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), so:

$a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

$r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m$

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

$a=4.4 g$
