A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

Explanation:

<em>Pressure:</em><em>This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²</em>

<em>p = Dgh............... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.</em>

<em>From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.</em>

<em>p₁ = p₂</em>

<em>Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water</em>

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

<em>h₂ = 348.14 cm</em>

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

A small glass bead has been charged to +20 nC. A small metal ball bearing 1.0 cm above the bead feels a 0.018 N downward electri

Alla [95]

Answer:

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Explanation:

Let the charge on the ball bearing is q.

charge on glass bead, Q = 20 nC = 20 x 10^-9 C

Force between them, F = 0.018 N

Distance between them, d = 1 cm = 0.01 m

By use of Coulomb's law in electrostatics

$F=\frac{KQq}{d^{2}}$

By substituting the values

$0.018=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times20\times10^{-9}q}{0.01^{2}}$

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Thus, the charge on the ball bearing is $q=1\times10^{-8}C$

I dont know how to do this at all please help

worty [1.4K]

Wow ! I understand your shock. I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

   G · M / R²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ · 1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶) (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

=   1.83 x 10¹⁴ (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

= 1.83 x 10¹⁴    m / s²

That's about 1.87 x 10¹³ times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh 1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.

Why the bulb of thermometer in cylindrical

crimeas [40]

I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.
