04-9 (ML 6.12) A pristine stream flowing at 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) in the Rocky Mountains contains 5 mg/L of suspended

solids (SS). During the spring, ice melt conveys an additional 250 mg/L of TSS at a rate of 20 cfs into the stream. Determine the concentration of TSS in the stream during the spring. (Hint: Treat the ice melt as a secondary stream added to the first.) Answer: 46 mg/L

Answer:

$C_{mix} = 45.833 mg/l$

Explanation:

Give data:

flow rate of stream is $Q_1 100 cfs$

concentration of suspended solids $SS_1 5 mg/L$

During spring time,

concentration of TSS = $SS_2 = 250 mg/l$

flow rate of stream $Q_2= 20 cfs$

we know that, concentration of mix is given as

$C_{mix} = \frac{Q_1 SS_1 + Q_2 SS_2}{Q_1 +Q_2}$

$C_{mix} = \frac{100\times 5 + 20\times 250}{100+20}$

$C_{mix} = 45.833 mg/l$

What is the increase in pressure required to decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Boyles law

Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to it's pressure, provided that temperature is constant

V ∝ 1 / P

V = k / P

VP = k

Then,

V_1 • P_1 = V_2 • P_2

So, if we want an increase in pressure that will decrease volume of mercury by 0.001%

Then, let initial volume be V_1 = V

New volume is V_2 = 0.001% of V

V_2 = 0.00001•V

Let initial pressure be P_1 = P

So,

Using the equation above

V_1•P_1 = V_2•P_2

V × P = 0.00001•V × P_2

Make P_2 subject of formula by dividing be 0.00001•V

P_2 = V × P / 0.00001 × V

Then,

P_2 = 100000 P

So, the new pressure has to be 10^5 times of the old pressure

Now, using bulk modulus

Bulk modulus of mercury=2.8x10¹⁰N/m²

bulk modulus = P/(-∆V/V)

-∆V = 0.001% of V

-∆V = 0.00001•V

-∆V = 10^-5•V

-∆V/V = 10^-5

Them,

Bulk modulus = P / (-∆V/V)

2.8 × 10^10 = P / 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^10 × 10^-5

P = 2.8 × 10^5 N/m²

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0 cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magne

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V

Explanation:

The average emf induced can be calculated from the formula

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

Where $N$ is the number of turns

$\Delta \phi$ is the change in magnetic flux

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in magnetic flux is given by

$\Delta \phi = \phi _{f} - \phi _{i}$

Where $\phi _{f}$ is the final magnetic flux

and $\phi _{i}$ is the initial magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is given by the formula

$\phi = BAcos(\theta)$

Where $B$ is the magnetic field

$A$ is the area

and $\theta$ is the angle between the magnetic field and the area.

Initially, the magnetic field and the area are pointed in the same direction, that is, $\theta = 0^{o}$

From the question,

B = 1.5 T

and radius = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m

Since it is a circular loop of wire, the area is given by

$A = \pi r^{2}$

∴ $A = \pi (0.15)^{2}$

$A = 0.0225\pi$

∴ $\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)cos(0^{o} )$

$\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)$

( NOTE: $cos (0^{o}) = 1$ )

$\phi_{i} = 0.03375\pi$ Wb

For $\phi_{f}$

The field pointed upwards, that is $\theta = 90^{o}$ . Since $cos (90^{o}) = 0$

Then

$\phi_{f} = 0$

Hence,

$\Delta \phi = 0- 0.03375\pi$

$\Delta \phi = - 0.03375\pi$

From the question

$\Delta t = 2.8 ms = 2.8 \times 10^{-3} s$

Here, $N$ = 1

Hence,

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$ becomes

$Emf = -(1)\frac{-0.03375\pi}{2.8 \times 10^{-3} }$

$Emf = 37.9 V$

Hence, the average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V.

How many innings are in a regulation softball game?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A regulation game consists of 7 innings unless extended because of a tie score or unless shortened because the home team needs none or only a fraction of its 7th inning or unless 1 team is leading by 10 runs after 5 innings.
