Answer:

Q = 178.41 m^3 / s

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the pipe L = 0.5 km
Diameter D = 0.05 m
Pressure head @ A (P_a / γ )= 21.7 m
Pressure head @ B (P_b / γ )= 76.1 m
Elevation head Z_a = 115 m
Elevation head Z_b = 0 m
Minor Losses = 0 m
Major Losses = f*L*V^2 / 2*D*g = (500/2*0.05*9.81) *f*V^2 = 509.684*f*V^2
Velocity at cross section A and B: V_a = V_b m/s
Roughness e = 2.5 mm
Dynamic viscosity of water u = 8.9*10^-4 Pa-s
Density of water p = 997 kg/m^3

Find:

Flow Rate Q = pi*V*D^2/4 m^3/s ??

Solution:

We will use the Head Balance as derived from Energy Balance:

(P_a / γ ) - (P_b / γ ) + (V_a^2 - V_b^2) / 2*g + (Z_a - Z_b) = Major Losses

21.7 - 76.1 + 0 + 115-0 = 509.684*f*V^2

f*V^2 = 0.18897199

To find correction factor f which is a function of e / D = 0.05, and Reynold's number which is unknown. In such cases we will guess a value of f and perform iterations as follows:

Guess: f_o = 0.072 (Moody's Chart @ e / D = 0.05 and most turbulent function).

V_o = sqrt(0.18897199 / 0.072) = 1.28504 m/s

Re_o = p*V_o*D / u = 997*1.28504*0.05 / 8.9*10^-4 = 71976.6

1st iteration

f_1 = g (Re_o , e/d) = 0.0718702 (Moody's Chart)

V_1 = sqrt(0.18897199 / 0.0718702) = 1.621528 m/s

Re_1 = p*V_1*D / u = 997*1.621528*0.05 / 8.9*10^-4 = 90823.81698

2nd iteration

f_2 = g (Re_1 , e/d) = 0.0718041 (Moody's Chart)

V_2 = sqrt(0.18897199 / 0.0718041) = 1.662273585 m/s

Re_2 = p*V_2*D / u = 997*1.662273585*0.05 / 8.9*10^-4 = 90865.54854

3rd iteration

f_3 = g (Re_2 , e/d) = 0.0718040 (Moody's Chart)

V_3 = sqrt(0.18897199 / 0.0718040) = 1.622274714 m/s

Re_3 = p*V_3*D / u = 997*1.622274714*0.05 / 8.9*10^-4 = 90865.61182

We can observe the convergence of V to 1.6222 m /s. Hence, the required velocity will be used to calculate the Flow rate Q:

Q = pi*V*D^2/4 = pi*1.6222*0.05^2 / 4

Q = 178.41 m^3 / s

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d

Suppose the student in (Figure 1) is 68kg, and the board being stood on has a 12kg mass. What is the reading on the left scale?

lesantik [10]

The equilibrium conditions allow to find the results for the balance forces are:

F₁ = 225.4 N

F₂ = 558.6 N

When the acceleration is zero we have the equilibrium conditions for both linear and rotational motion.

∑ F = 0

∑ τ = 0

Where F are the forces and τ the torques.

The torque is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point of support,

The free-body diagrams are diagrams of the forces without the details of the bodies, see attached for the free-body diagram of the system.

We write the translational equilibrium condition.

F₁ - W₁ - W₂ + F₂ = 0

We write the equation for the rotational motion, set our point of origin at scale 1, and the counterclockwise turns are positive.

F₂ 2 - W₁ 1 - W₂ 1.5 = 0 $\frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5}{2}$

Let's calculate F₂

F₂ = $\frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5 }{2}$

F₂ = (m g + M g 1.5)/ 2

F₂ = $\frac{(12 + 68 \ 1.5 ) \ 9.8}{2}$

F₂ = 558.6 N

We substitute in the translational equilibrium equation.

F₁ = W₁ + W₂ - F₂

F₁ = (m + M) g - F₂

F₁ = (12 +68) 9.8 - 558.6

F₁ = 225.4 N

In conclusion using the equilibrium conditions we can find the forces of the balance are:

F₁ = 225.4 N

F2 = 558.6 N

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1

asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, $f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Separation between slits, $d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m$

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

For third maxima,

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})$

$\theta=4.69^{\circ}$

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

$d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})$

$\theta=3.90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Rosa pours a cup of boiling water into a pot of room-temperature water. According to the second law of thermodynamics, what will

11111nata11111 [884]

<u>Thermal energy</u><u> from the room-temperature water will continuously flow to the boiling water.</u>

The second law states, in a straightforward manner, that heat cannot naturally go "uphill."
When a pan of boiling water and a pan of ice are in touch, the hot water cools and the ice melts and warms up.

<h3>THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS</h3>

Adiabatic Process - is a procedure that is carried out without the system's heat content changing.
Water is heated to a temperature of 1000C during the boiling process, making it an isothermal process. As steam, the excess heat leaves the system.
