P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur

e of 1.26 MPa. The tank will be constructed from steel that has a yield strength of 270 MPa. If a factor of safety of 2.0 with respect to the yield strength is required, determine the minimum wall thickness tmin required for the spherical tank.

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

\sigma _{a}  =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa

The minimun wall thickness:

t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m

What fraction of the space within the atom is occupied by the nucleus?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Approximately 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁵

Explanation:

To be able to get this fraction, there are some things we need to know.

1. The radius of nucleus = 1.0 x 10⁻¹³ cm

2. The radius of hydrogen atom = 52.9 pm

3. Volume of sphere = V1/V2 = (R1/R2)^3

4. 1 picometer (pm) = 10^-10 cm

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

a) Q1=Q2=480μC   V1=240V   V2=60V

b) Q1=96μC   Q2=384μC   V1=V2=48V

c) Q1=Q2=0C    V1=V2=0V

Explanation:

Let C1 = 2μC  and  C2=8μC

For part (a) of this problem, we know that charge in a series circuit, is the same in C1 and C2. Having this in mind, we can calculate equivalent capacitance first:

C=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{C1} +\frac{1}{C2} } = 1.6\mu C

Q_{T} = V_{T}*C_{T} = 480\mu C

V1 = \frac{Q1}{C1}=240V

V2 = \frac{Q2}{C2}=60V

For part (b), the capacitors are in parallel now. In this condition, the voltage is the same for both capacitors:

V1=V2   So,  \frac{Q1}{C1} = \frac{Q2}{C2}

Total charge is the same calculated for part (a), so:

\frac{Qt - Q2}{C1} = \frac{Q2}{C2}   Solving for Q2:

Q2 = 384μC    Q1 = 96μC.

Therefore:

V1=V2=48V

For part (c), both capacitors would discharge, since their total voltage of 300V would by applied to a wire (R=0Ω). There would flow a huge amount of current for a short period of time, and capacitors would be completely discharged. Q1=Q2=0C  V1=V2=0V
