Answer:

a)6.8 KPa

b)0.264 gallon

c)47.84 Pa.s

Explanation:

We know that

1 lbf= 4.48 N

1 ft =0.30 m

a)

Given that

P= 1 psi

psi is called pound force per square inch.

We know that 1 psi = 6.8 KPa.

b)

Given that

Volume = 1 liter

We know that 1000 liter = 1 cubic meter.

1 liter =0.264 gallon.

c)

$1\ \frac{lb.s}{ft^2}=47.84\ \frac{Pa.s}{ft^2}$

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$

Explanation:

Notation

In order to do the dimensional analysis we need to take in count that we need to conditions:

a) The energy A is released in a small place

b) The shock follows a spherical pattern

We can assume that the size of the explosion r is a function of the time t, and depends of A (energy), the time (t) and the density of the air is constant $\rho_{air}$ .

And now we can solve the dimensional problem. We assume that L is for the distance T for the time and M for the mass.

[r]=L with r representing the radius

[A]= $\frac{ML^2}{T^2}$ A represent the energy and is defined as the mass times the velocity square, and the velocity is defined as $\frac{L}{T}$

[t]=T represent the time

$[\rho]=\frac{M}{L^3}$ represent the density.

Solution to the problem

And if we analyze the function for r we got this:

$[r]=L=[A]^x [\rho]^y [t]^z$

And if we replpace the formulas for each on we got:

$[r]=L =(\frac{ML^2}{T^2})^x (\frac{M}{L^3})^y (T)^z$

And using algebra properties we can express this like that:

$[r]=L=M^{x+y} L^{2x-3y} T^{-2x+z}$

And on this case we can use the exponents to solve the values of x, y and z. We have the following system.

$x+y =0 , 2x-3y=1, -2x+z=0$

We can solve for x like this x=-y and replacing into quation 2 we got:

$2(-y)-3y = 1$

$-5y = 1$

$y= -\frac{1}{5}$

And then we can solve for x and we got:

$x = -y = -(-\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{5}$

And if we solve for z we got:

$z=2x =2 \frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$

And now we can express the radius in terms of the dimensional analysis like this:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

And K represent a constant in order to make the porportional relation and equality.

The problem says that we can assume the constant K=1.

And if we solve for the energy we got:

$A^{1/5}=\frac{r}{t^{2/5} \rho^{-1/5}}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

And now we can replace the values given. On this case t =0.025 s, the radius r =140 m, and the density is a constant assumed $\rho =1.2 kg/m^2$ , and replacing we got:

$A=\frac{140^5 1.2 kg/m^3}{(0.025 s)^2}=1.033x10^{14} \frac{kg m^2}{s^2}$

And we can convert this into ergs we got:

$A= 1.033x10^{14} \frac{kgm^2}{s^2} * \frac{1 x10^7 egrs}{1 \frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}=1.033x10^{21} ergs$

And then we know that 1 g of TNT have $4x10^4 erg$

And we got:

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$
