An empty container has a mass of 3 g. When it is filled with 5 cm3 of a liquid,
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

THE MASS OF THE LIQUID IS 22.5 g

Explanation:

Density = 0.180 g/cm3

Side length = 5 cm

Mass = unknown

To calculate the mass of the liquid, we use the formula:

Mass = density * volume

Volume of a cube or cuboid container = l^3

Volume = 5 ^3 = 125 cm3

So therefore, the mass of the liquid is:

Mass = 0.180 * 125

Mass = 22.5 g

In conclusion, the mass of the liquid in the container is 22.5 g

A water pipe tapers down from an initial radius of R1 = 0.21 m to a final radius of R2 = 0.11 m. The water flows at a velocity v
Aleks [24]

Answer:

0.116 m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe is given by:

Q=Av

where

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the fluid

In this problem, at the initial point we have

v = 0.84 m/s is the speed of the water

r = 0.21 m is the radius of the pipe, so the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.21 m)^2 =0.138 m^2

So, the volume flow rate is

Q=(0.138 m^2)(0.84 m/s)=0.116 m^3/s
