A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su

rfaces is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25.
A horizontal force of 20 N is applied to the object.
Determine the acceleration of the object.

maximum static friction acting on the object will be

$F_s = \mu_s mg$

plug in all values

$F_s = 0.40 \times 15 \times 9.8 = 58.8 N$

So here it means that if applied force is less than or equal to 58.8 N then the object will remain stationary as friction can balance the external force upto this limit of external force

So here it is given that applied force is 20 N

so here object will not move due to this force and it will remain at rest always

due to this applied force

A piston-cylinder device contains Helium gas initially at 150 kPa, 20 o C, and 0.5m 3 . The helium is now compressed in a polytr

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$P_1=150 kPa$

$T_1=20^{\circ}C$

$V_1=0.5 m^3$

$T_2=140^{\circ}C$

$P_2=400 kPa$

R for Helium $R=2.076$

$c_v=3.115 kJ/kg-K$

mass of gas $m=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}$

$m=\frac{150\times 0.5}{2.076\times 293}$

$m=0.123 kg$

Similarly $V_2$ can be found

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$V_2=0.264 m^3$

Work done $W=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV$

$W=\frac{P_2V_2-P_1V_1}{n-1}$

$W=\frac{mR(T_2_T_1)}{n-1}$

Since it is a polytropic Process

therefore $PV^n=c$

$P_1V_1^n=P_2V_2^n$

$(\frac{V_1}{V_2})^n=\frac{P_2}{P_1}$

$(\frac{0.5}{0.264})^n=\frac{400}{150}$

$n=\frac{\ln 2.66}{\ln 1.893}$

$n=1.533$

$W=\frac{0.123\times 2.076(140-20)}{1.533-1}$

$W=57.48 kJ$

From Energy balance

$E_{in}-E_{out}=\Delta E_{system}$

Neglecting kinetic and Potential Energy change

$Q_{in}+W_{in}=change\ in\ Internal\ Energy$

Change in Internal Energy $\Delta U=u_2-u_1$

$\Delta U=mc_v(T_2-T_1)$

$\Delta U=0.123\times 3.115(140-20)$

$\Delta U=45.977 kJ$

$Q_{in}+57.48=45.977$

$Q_{in}=-11.50 kJ$

i.e. Heat is being removed
