Answer:
A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.
Explanation:
The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:
Where:
- Bulk module, measured in pascals.
- Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.
- Local pressure, measured in pascals.
Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:
This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:
The final volume is predicted by:
If ,
and
, then:
Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:
A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.
Answer:
The reactance of the capacitor
Explanation:
In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.
For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:
where:
f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit
C is the capacitance of the capacitor
The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:
- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)
- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).
