A hydrometer is made of a tube of diameter 2.3cm.The mass of the tube and it's content is 80g. If it floats in a liquid density

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The depth to which the hydrometer sinks is approximately 24.07 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of the hydrometer tube, d = 2.3 cm

The mass of the content of the tube, m = 80 g

The density of the liquid in which the tube floats, ρ = 800 kg/m³

By Archimedes' principle, the up thrust (buoyancy) force acting on the hydrometer = The weight of the displaced liquid

When the hydrometer floats, the up-thrust is equal to the weight of the hydrometer which by Archimedes' principle, is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid displaced by the hydrometer

Therefore;

The weight of the liquid displaced = The weight of the hydrometer, W = m·g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

∴ W = 80 g × g

The volume of the liquid that has a mass of 80 g (0.08 kg), V = m/ρ

V = 0.08 kg/(800 kg/m³) = 0.0001 m³ = 0.0001 m³ × 1 × 10⁶ cm³/m³ = 100 cm³

The volume of the liquid displaced = 100 cm³ = The volume of the hydrometer submerged, $V_h$

$V_h$ = A × h

Where;

A = The cross-sectional area of the tube = π·d²/4

h = The depth to which the hydrometer sinks

h = $V_h$ /A

∴ h = 100 cm³/( π × 2.3²/4 cm²) ≈ 24.07 cm

The depth to which the tube sinks, h ≈ 24.07 cm.

A straight fin is made from copper (k = 388 W/m-K) and is 0.5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long. The temperature at the base of the

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The rate of transfer of heat is 0.119 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the fin, D = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Length of the fin, l =30 cm = 0.3 m

Base temperature, $T_{b} = 75^{\circ}C$

Air temperature, $T_{infty} = 20^{\circ}$

k = 388 W/mK

h = $20\ W/m^{2}K$

Now,

Perimeter of the fin, p = $\pi D = 0.005\pi \ m$

Cross-sectional area of the fin, A = $\frac{\pi}{4}D^{2}$

A = $\frac{\pi}{4}(0.5\times 10^{-2})^{2} = 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi \ m^{2}$

To calculate the heat transfer rate:

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{hkpA}tanh(ml)(T_{b} - T_{infty})$

where

$m = \sqrt{\frac{hp}{kA}} = \sqrt{\frac{20\times 0.005\pi}{388\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}} = 41.237$

Now,

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{20\times 388\times 0.005\pi\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}tanh(41.237\times 0.3)(75 - 20) = 0.119\ W$

An x-ray photon is scattered by an originally stationary electron. how does the frequency of the scattered photon compare relati

Viefleur [7K]

The frequency of the scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.
