A gas always fills whatever container it's in.  You will get a lot of answers
to your question, with various technical discussions that involve pressure
and temperature.  The fact of the matter is that the only thing you can do to
change the volume of the gas is change the volume of the container it's in.

A hammer falls off the top roof and strikes the ground with a certain kinetic energy. If it fell from a roof twice as tall how w
Akimi4 [234]

The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell. 

Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.

Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.

A triangular plate with height 6 ft and a base of 7 ft is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 ft below the surfac
xenn [34]

Answer:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

Explanation:

For this problem to be easier to calculate, we can represent the triangle as a right triangle whose right angle is located at the origin of a coordinate system. (See picture attached).

With this disposition of the triangle, we can start finding our integral. The hydrostatic force can be set as an integral with the following shape:

\int\limits^a_bγhxdy

we know that γ=62.5 lb/ft^{3}

from the drawing, we can determine the height (or depth under the water) of each differential area is given by:

h=8-y

x can be found by getting the equation of the line, which we'll get by finding the slope of the line and using one of the points to complete the equation:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}

when substituting the x and y-values given on the graph, we get that the slope is:

m=\frac{0-6}{7-0}=-\frac{6}{7}

once we got this slope, we can substitute it in the point-slope form of the equation:

y_{2}-y_{1}=m(x_{2}-x_{1})

which yields:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}(x-0)

which simplifies to:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}x

we can now solve this equation for x, so we get that:

x=-\frac{7}{6}y+7

with this last equation, we can substitute everything into our integral, so it will now look like this:

\int\limits^6_0{(62.5)(8-y)(-\frac{7}{6}y+7)}\,dy

Now that it's all written in terms of y we can now simplify it, so we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)}dy

we can now proceed and evaluate it.

When using the power rule on each of the terms, we get the integral to be:

62.5[\frac{7}{18}y^{3}-\frac{49}{6}y^{2}+56y]^{6}_{0}

By using the fundamental theorem of calculus we get:

62.5[(\frac{7}{18}(6)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(6)^{2}+56(6))-(\frac{7}{18}(0)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(0)^{2}+56(0))]

When solving we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

<em>F = Mg</em>

<em>⇒F = 84.8×9.81</em>

<em>⇒F = 831.888 N</em>

Area of the contact point

<em>A = πR²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.006²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.000036 m²</em>

Area of the four points is

<em>4A = 0.000144π m²</em>

Pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa
