Why is it reasonable to say that no system is 100% efficient?​

Engineering
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
5 0

Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
bixtya [17]

Answer:

h = 287.1 m

Explanation:

the density of mercury \rho =13570 kg/m3

the atmospheric pressure at the top of the building is

p_t = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.73 = 97.08 kPa

the atmospheric pressure at bottom

p_b = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.75 = 100.4 kPa

\frac{w_{air}}{A} =p_b -p_t

we have also

(\rho gh)_{air} = p_b - p_t

1.18*9.81*h = (100.4 -97.08)*10^3

h = 287.1 m

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.0-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s
shusha [124]

Answer:

The tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the ball, W = 150 N

length of the rope, r = 4 m

velocity of the ball, v = 5.6 m/s

When the ball passes through the lowest point, the tension on the rope is the sum of weight of the ball and centripetal force.

T = W + F

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

where;

m is the mass of the ball

m = W/g

m = 150 / 9.8 = 15.306 kg

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

F = (15.306 x 5.6²)/4

F = 120 N

T = W + F

T = 150 + 120

T = 270 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Two flat plates, separated by a space of 4 mm, are moving relative to each other at a velocity of 5 m/sec. The space between the
xenn [34]

Answer:

0.008

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are:

Velocity V = 5 m/s

Pressure = 10 pa

But pressure = F/A

10 = F/A

F = 10A

Substitute all the parameters into the formula below

Coefficient of viscosity (η) = F × r /[AV]

Where

F = tangential force,

r = distance between layers,

A = Area, and

V = velocity

(η) = 10A × 0.004 /[A × 5]

The A will cancel out

(η) = 10 × 0.004 /[5]

(η) = 0.04 /5

(η) = 0.008

Therefore, the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid is 0.008

If gas costs $3.50 per gallon, how much would it cost to drive 500 miles in a city in a car that is 58.3 km/L
Akimi4 [234]
1 liter = .264 gallon
1 km = .621 mile

this means that 58.3km/L is equal to 137.13mpg

so

500/137.13 = 3.65 gallons of gas

3.65 x 3.5 = $12.78
