Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a p

ressure of 101 kPa on top of the 0.5-m-diameter piston. The gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 1.2 kPa. The local acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 . Subsequently, a weight is placed on top of the piston causing the piston to fall until reaching a new static equilibrium position. At this position, the gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 2.8 kPa. Determine (a) the mass of the piston, in kg, and (b) the mass of the added weight, in kg

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

A plumbed eyewash station is portable.
Hitman42 [59]
Plumbed stations are permanently connected to a source of potable water, whereas portable stations are self-contained gravity-fed units with their own flushing fluid that must be replaced after each use. ... Eyewash fluid must irrigate and flush both eyes simultaneously.
Hopefully this helped.

Calculate how large a mass would be necessary to obtain a mechanical noise limit of [Equation] = 1 nG, 1 µG, and 1 mG if the mec
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Mechanical resonance frequency is the frequency of a system to react sharply when the frequency of oscillation is equal to its resonant frequency (natural frequency).

The physical dimension of the silicon is 10kg

Explanation:

Using the formular, Force, F = 1/2π√k/m

At resonance, spring constant, k = mw² ( where w = 2πf), when spring constant, k = centripetal force ( F = mw²r).

Hence, F = 1/2π√mw²/m = f ( f = frequency)

∴ f = F = mg, taking g = 9.8 m/s²

100 Hz = 9.8 m/s² X m

m = 100/9.8 = 10.2kg

Explain with schematics the operating principle of solid state lasers.
alina1380 [7]

Explanation:

A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.

    It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.
