Answer:

230.51 m

Explanation:

Pb = 695 mmHg

Pt = 675 mmHg

Pb - Pt = 20 mmHg

Calculate dP:

dP = p * g * H = (13600)*(9.81)*(20/1000) = 2668.320 Pa

Calculate Height of building as dP is same for any medium of liquid

dP = p*g*H = 2668.320

H = 2668.32 / (1.18 * 9.81) = 230.51 m

There is an electric field near the Earth's surface whose magnitude is about 145 V/m . How much energy is stored per cubic meter
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3  ( 2 sig. fig)

Explanation:

Given:

- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m

- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o =  8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg

Find:

- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?

Solution:

- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:

                                        u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2

- Plug in the values given:

                                        u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2

                                        u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8  J/m^3

ohaa [14]

Answer:

T = 15 kN

F = 23.33 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

we substitute

[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F( 75 - 0 ) =  1.75 × 10⁶

The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;

F =  1.75 × 10⁶ / 75

F = 23333.33 N

F = 23.33 kN

Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶

The force T developed is then;

T =  1.125 × 10⁶ / 75

T = 15000 N

T = 15 kN

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

5984.67N

Explanation:

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?

from continuity equation

v1A1=v2A2

equation of continuity

v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s

d1=14 inch=.35m

d2=14-2=0.304m

A1=pi*d^2/4

0.096m^2

a2=0.0706m^2

from continuity once again

1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)

v2=1.65

force on the pipe

(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)

from bernoulli

p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2

difference in pressure or pressure drop

p1-p2=2psi

13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2

rho=21.91kg/m^3

since the pipe is cylindrical

pressure is egh

13.789=21.91*9.81*h

length of the pipe is

0.064m

AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)

the mass =rho*A*H

0.064*0.07*21.91

m=0.098kg

(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)

force =5984.67N

The gas expanding in the combustion space of a reciprocating engine has an initial pressure of 5 MPa and an initial temperature
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a). Work transfer = 527.2 kJ

b). Heat Transfer = 197.7 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

P_{1} = 5 Mpa

T_{1} = 1623°C

                       = 1896 K

V_{1} = 0.05 m^{3}

Also given \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = 20

Therefore, V_{2} = 1  m^{3}

R = 0.27 kJ / kg-K

C_{V} = 0.8 kJ / kg-K

Also given : P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25}=C

   Therefore, P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25} = P_{2}V_{2}^{1.25}

                     5\times 0.05^{1.25}=P_{2}\times 1^{1.25}

                     P_{2} = 0.1182 MPa

a). Work transfer, δW = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

                                  \left [\frac{5\times 0.05-0.1182\times 1}{1.25-1}  \right ]\times 10^{6}

                              = 527200 J

                             = 527.200 kJ

b). From 1st law of thermodynamics,

Heat transfer, δQ = ΔU+δW

   = \frac{mR(T_{2}-T_{1})}{\gamma -1}+ \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

  =\left [ \frac{\gamma -n}{\gamma -1} \right ]\times \delta W

  =\left [ \frac{1.4 -1.25}{1.4 -1} \right ]\times 527.200

  = 197.7 kJ
