Explanation:

Barometer :

Barometer is a scientific device. It is used to measure air pressure in environment. Air pressure changes with distance upper and bottom sea level.

Barometer is also used for measure altitude.

Barometric pressure has main effects on water and atmosphere conditions.

Hence, Barometer is used to measure air pressure.

A circular plate of 500-mm diameter is maintained at T1 = 600 K and is positioned coaxial to a conical shape. The back side of t

drek231 [11]

For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K

For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W

A soccer player carries the ball for a distance of 40.0 m in the direction 42.0° west of south. find the westward component of t

Maksim231197 [3]

Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.

We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:

sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle

sin 42 = x / 40 m

x = (40 m) sin 42

x = 26.77 m

Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m
