The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

Find the fundamental frequency and the next three frequencies that could cause standing-wave patterns on a string that is 30.0 m
maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.786 Hz, 1.572 Hz, 2.358 Hz, 3.144 Hz

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a string is given by

f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

\mu is the mass per unit length

For the string in the problem,

L = 30.0 m

\mu=9.00\cdot 10^{-3} kg/m

T = 20.0 N

Substituting into the equation, we find the fundamental frequency:

f=\frac{1}{2(30.0)}\sqrt{\frac{20.0}{(9.00\cdot 10^{-3}}}=0.786 Hz

The next frequencies (harmonics) are given by

f_n = nf

with n being an integer number and f being the fundamental frequency.

So we get:

f_2 = 2 (0.786 Hz)=1.572 Hz

f_3 = 3 (0.786 Hz)=2.358 Hz

f_4 = 4 (0.786 Hz)=3.144 Hz

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.
