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

A closed system consists of 0.3 kmol of octane occupying a volume of 5 m³. Determine (a) the weight of the system, in N, and (b)

Leni [432]

Answer:

a) m=336.18N

b) Vn=16.67m/kmol

Vm=0.1459m^3/kg

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of the octane(m):

Number of mole of octane (n) =0.3kmol(given)

Molarmass of octane (M) =114.23kg/kmol

m=n*M

m=(0.3kmol)*(114.23kg/kmol)

m=34.269kg

To calculate for the weight of octane(W):

W=g*m

W=(9.81m/s^2)*(34.269kg)

W=336.18N

b) For specific volumes of Vn and Vm:

Given volume of octane (V) =5m^3

Vm=V/m

Vm=5m^3/34.269kg

Vm=0.1459m^3/kg

And Vn will be :

Vn=V/m=5m^3/0.3kmol

Vn=16.67m/Kmol

Therefore, the answers are:

a) m=336.18N

b) Vn=16.67m/kmol

Vm=0.1459m^3/kg

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tanlc The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differentialhe

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(a) 11.437 psia

(b) 13.963 psia

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:

fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3

height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft

acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2

The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2

The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:

(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi

(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia

(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia

A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

erica [24]

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

$F_f= \mu N_2$

where :

$F_f =$ friction force

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$N_2$ = normal friction

Given that:

$\mu$ = 0.3

$F_f =$ 0.3 $N_2$

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

$\sum f_x = 0$

P - $F_f =$ 0

P = 0.3 $N_2$ ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

$\sum M_B = 0$

0 = $N_2*70-W*35-P*100$

where;

P = horizontal force

$N_2$ = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = $N_2*70-650*35-100*P$

$P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)$

Replacing $\frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}$ for P in equation (1)

$\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2$

$N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}$ $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$

Plugging the value of $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$ in equation (2)

$P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}$

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b) From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

$\sum M_A = 0$

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = $\frac{W*35}{100}$

Replacing 650 N for W

$P = \frac{650*35}{100}$

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.
