Answer:

a barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, and a manometer is used to measure gauge pressure.

Explanation:

A barometer measures air pressure at any locality with sea level as the reference.

However, a manometer is used to measure all pressures especially gauge pressures. Thus, if the aim is to measure the pressure at any point below a fluid surface, a barometer is used to determine the air pressure. The manometer may now be used to determine the gauge pressure

The algebraic sum of these two values gives the absolute pressure.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula E=F/C also E=V/d

In this case use the second formula; E=V/d

Data given; E=4N/C d=8m

So v=E X d

V=4x8=32V

k.e=eV= 2X32=64eV

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness

Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

$\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_h = 1200psi$

And the longitudinal stress would be

$\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}$

$\sigma_l = 600Psi$

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

$\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}$

$\tau_{max} = 600Psi$

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi

Why, according to thoreau, are people better off being poor than wealthy?

goldenfox [79]

<span>By being poor, you can become better because you can cultivate a better personality. Things, items, phones distract you & if you're poor, then you're more inclined to be productive & have more in a sense.
