One barometer tube has twice the cross-sectional area of another. mercury in the smaller tube will rise _____.
Andreas93 [3]
The answer is "the same than the mercury in the bigger tube".

If one barometer tube has twice the cross-sectional area of another, mercury in the smaller tube will rise the same than the mercury in the bigger tube.

The mercury will rise to the point where the column of mercury has the same weight as the force exerted by the atmosphere.

The force exerted by the atmosphere is pressure * cross-sectional area

Anf the weight of the column of mercury, W, will be:

W = m* g

where m = density * volume, and volume = cross-sectional area * height

=> W = density * cross-sectional area * height

Then,  you make W = F and get:

density * cross-sectional area * height = P * cross-sectional area

The term cress-sectional area appears on both sides so it gets cancelled, and the height of the column of mercury does not depend on the cross-sectional area of the barometer.

A cell of e.M.F 1.5v and internal resistance 2.5ohm is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.5ohm. Calculate the c
Tju [1.3M]

Given :

A cell of e.m.f  1.5 V and internal resistance 2.5 ohm is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.5 ohm.

To Find :

The current in the circuit.

Solution :

We know, resistance of the ammeter is in series with the circuit.

So, total resistance is :

R = 2.5 + 0.5 ohm

R = 3 ohm

Also, e.m.f applied is 1.5 V .

Now, by ohm's law :

I = \dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I = \dfrac{1.5}{3}\\\\I = 0.5 \ A

Therefore, the current in the circuit is 0.5 A.

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.60 m/s2. if this is measured at a distance of 3.4 x 10^6 m from the center of the p
densk [106]

As we know that acceleration due to gravity is given by

g = \frac{GM}{r^2}

here we know that

g = 3.60 m/s^2

M = ?

r = 3.4 \times 10^6 m

now we have

3.60 m/s^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2)(M)}{(3.4 \times 10^6)^2m^2}

M = 6.24 \times 10^{23} kg

so above is the mass of Mars

g A spherical container of inner diameter 0.9 meters contains nuclear waste that generates heat at the rate of 872 W/m3. Estimat
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: The total rate of heat transfer from the container to its surroundings ignoring radiation is 332.67 W.

Explanation:

Given: Inner diameter = 0.9 m

q = 872 W/m^{3}

Now, radii is calculated as follows.

r = \frac{diameter}{2}\\= \frac{0.9}{2}\\= 0.45 m

Hence, the rate of heat transfer is as follows.

Q = q \times V

where,

V = volume of sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Q = q \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\= 872 W/m^{3} \times \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.45 m)^{3}\\= 332.67 W

Thus, we can conclude that the total rate of heat transfer from the container to its surroundings ignoring radiation is 332.67 W.
