Answer:

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

By definition, the pressure is the force exerted on the piston divided by its area. Given that, force is distributed uniformly on the piston area, the formula to determine the pressure is:

p = \frac{F}{A}

Where:

p - Pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

F - Force exerted on the piston, measured in pounds.

A - Piston area, measured in square inches.

If F = 16\,lb and A = 0.43\,in^{2}, the pressure produced on the air in the pump is:

p = \frac{16\,lb}{0.43\,in^{2}}

p = 37.209\,psi

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infini
amid [387]

Answer:

Recall that the electric field outside  a uniformly charged solid sphere  is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the  sphere:

E_{outside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{r^{2} } r^{'}

lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:

E_{inside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{R^{2} } \frac{r}{R} r^{'}

To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):

V(r>R)=\int\limits^r_\infty {\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0)} }\frac{Q}{r^2}  } \, dr=\frac{q}{4\pi(e_{0)} } \frac{1}{r} \\V(r

=\frac{q}{4\pi e_{0} } [\frac{1}{R} -\frac{r^{2}-R^{2}  }{2R^{3} } ]
