Answer:

Pressure difference between head and toes = 16872.2 Pa

Explanation:

The pressure difference between the head and toes of the man will be equal to the water pressure exerted at his toes. This can be found as follows:

Water pressure = (density of water) * (gravity) * (height of water)

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

Height of water = height of man = 1.72 m

Water pressure = 1000 * 9.81 * 1.72

Water pressure = 16872.2 Pa

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

What is the weight of an astronaut who has a mass of 90 kg on the moon? (Note: acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.62 N
motikmotik

Answer:

W = 145.8 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 90 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]

W = 90*1.62

W = 145.8 [N]
