2. A liquid that is twice as dense as water is used in a barometer. With this barometer, atmospheric pressure would push the liq

uid to a height of 5.15m. Explain why.\

Scrat [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Explanation:

We know that pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of material, g = 9.8 m/s and h = height.

Since density of liquid = 2 × density of water = 2 × 1000 kg/m = 2000 kg/m³

Since atmospheric pressure = 101500 N/m²,

The height of liquid for this pressure is h = P/ρg = 101500/(2000 × 9.8) = 5.18 m

For the same pressure, the height for water is h = P/ρg = 101500/(1000 × 9.8) = 10.36 m

Since pressure = constant,

P = ρgh ⇒ P/ρg = h since P and g are constant, h ∝ 1/ρ

ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

So, the reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass attached to one end the string is m_1 =  0.341 \ kg

   The mass attached to the other end of the string is  m_2 =  0.625 \ kg

    The radius of the disk is  r = 9.00 \ cm  = 0.09 \ m

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

      T_1 =  m_1 *  g

substituting values

      T_1 =  0.341 * 9.8

      T_1 =  3.342 \ N

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the  mass is mathematically represented as

      T_2 =  m_2 *  g

     T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8

      T_2 = 6.125 \ N

The  frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

      \tau  =  (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )

substituting values  

     \tau  =  ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342  * 0.09 )

     \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

A balloon is filled to a volume of 7.00*10^2 mL at a temperature of 20.0°C. The balloon is then cooled at constant pressure to a
wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

\frac{V}{T}=const.

Which can be also re-written as

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where

V_1, V_2 are the initial and final volumes of the gas

T_1, T_2 are the initial and final temperature of the gas

For the gas in the balloon in this problem, we have:

V_1 = 7.00\cdot 10^2 mL = 700 mL is the initial volume

T_1=20.0^{\circ}C+273=293 K is the initial absolute temperature

V_2 is the final volume

T_2 = 1.00\cdot 10^2 K = 100 K is the final temperature

Solving for V_2,

V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(700)(100)}{293}=238.9 mL

Write down short notes on:<br>c. Power​
Fudgin [204]

Answer: In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second. In older works, power is sometimes called activity. Power is a scalar quantity.

Explanation: SI unit: watt (W)

In SI base units: kg⋅m2⋅s−3

Derivations from other quantities: P = E/t; P = F...

A tow truck is pulling 25,000 kg van with a tow hook that meets the van at an angle of 30° with the ground. How much force must
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N
