A sample has a density of 30 g/ml. there is 60 ml of this substance.how much does it weigh?

1 answer:

3 0

If each mL has 30 grams of the substance in it, then 60 mL have 1800 grams of mass in them. the weight of 1,800 grams of mass on Earth is (1.8 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 17.6 newtons.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam c

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

$E_{mech}$ = m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( $E_{mech}$ = m(gh) kJ/kg )

$E_{mech}$ = 240000 × 9.8 × 50

$E_{mech}$ = 117600000 W

$E_{mech}$ = 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

In a hydraulic lift, if the pressure exerted on the liquid by one piston is increased by 100 N/m2 , how much additional weight c

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The additional weight and mass needed for lifting the other piston slowly is 2500 N and 254.92 kg, respectively.

Explanation:

By means of the Pascal's Principle, the hydraulic lift can be modelled by the following two equations:

Hydraulic Lift - Before change

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

Hydraulic Lift - After change

$P + \Delta P = \frac{F + \Delta F}{A}$

Where:

$P$ - Hydrostatic pressure, measured in pascals.

$\Delta P$ - Change in hydrostatic pressure, measured in pascals.

$A$ - Cross sectional area of the hydraulic lift, measured in square meters.

$F$ - Hydrostatic force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta F$ - Change in hydrostatic force, measured in newtons.

The additional weight is obtained after some algebraic handling and the replacing of all inputs:

$\frac{F}{A} + \Delta P = \frac{F}{A} + \frac{\Delta F}{A}$

$\Delta P = \frac{\Delta F}{A}$

$\Delta F = A\cdot \Delta P$

Given that $\Delta P = 100\,Pa$ and $A = 25\,m^{2}$ , the additional weight is:

$\Delta F = (25\,m^{2})\cdot (100\,Pa)$

$\Delta F = 2500\,N$

The additional mass needed for the additional weight is:

$\Delta m = \frac{\Delta F}{g}$

Where:

$\Delta F$ - Additional weight, measured in newtons.

$\Delta m$ - Additional mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational constant, measured in meters per square second.

If $\Delta F = 2500\,N$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\Delta m = \frac{2500\,N}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$\Delta m = 254.92\,kg$

The additional weight and mass needed for lifting the other piston slowly is 2500 N and 254.92 kg, respectively.
