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.

In a standard tensile test a steel rod of 22-mm diameter is subjected to a tension force of 75kN. Knowing that v = 0.30 and E =
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) Elongation of rod = 0.19732 mm

(b) Change in diameter = 0.00651 mm

Explanation:

Circular area at end of steel rod = pi * diameter^2 / 4

Area = pi * (22 * 10^-^3)/4

Area = 3.801 * 10^(-4)    meter squared

Stress = force / area

Stress = 75000 / (3.801 * 10^-4)

Stress = 197316495 Pa     OR       0.197 GPa

Modulus of elasticity = stress / strain

200 = 0.19732 / Strain

Strain = 0.0009866     (longitudinal)

(a) Strain = change in length / initial length

0.0009866 = Elongation of rod / 200

Elongation of rod = 0.19732 mm

(b) Poisson ratio = lateral strain / longitudinal strain

0.3 = lateral strain / 0.0009866

Lateral strain = 0.000296

Lateral strain = Change in diameter / original diameter

0.000296 = Change in diameter / 22

Change in diameter = 0.00651 mm

Which of the following is a nonferromagnetic material? (a) aluminum (b) iron (c) cobalt (d) gadolinium
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

A child (approximately 4 years old) takes her metal “slinky Toy” (a flexible coiled metal spring) and does various tests to dete
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

248

Explanation:

L = Inductance of the slinky = 130 μH = 130 x 10⁻⁶ H

l = length of the slinky = 3 m

N = number of turns in the slinky

r = radius of slinky = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Area of slinky is given as

A = πr²

A = (3.14) (0.04)²

A = 0.005024 m²

Inductance is given as

L = \frac{\mu _{o}N^{2}A}{l}

130\times 10^{-6} = \frac{(12.56\times 10^{-7})N^{2}(0.005024)}{3}

N = 248

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.
