How have earthquake data been used to explore the size of convection currents in the mantle?

Physics

nadezda [96]4 years ago

 <span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>

Calculate the pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 3. 5 m deep. How does the pressure compare with atmospheric pressure, 10
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  1.343 atm

Explanation:

The mass of water above 1 square meter of swimming pool bottom is ...

  M = (3.5 m)·(1000 kg/m^3) = 3500 kg/m^2

Then the force exerted by the water on the pool bottom is ...

  F = Mg = (3500 kg/m^2)(9.8 m/s^2) = 34300 N/m^2 = 34300 Pa

Compared with atmospheric pressure, this is ...

  34,300/10^5 = 0.343 . . . . atmospheres

Added to the atmospheric pressure on the water's surface, the total pressure on the pool bottom is 1.343 atmospheres.

A cube measures 3 cm on each side and has a mass of 25 g. What is its density.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The density is:   0.926 \,\frac{g}{cm^3}

Explanation:

Recall that density is defined as the quotient of the object's mass divided by volume. So, we calculate the volume of the 3 cm side cube:

Vol = (3 \,cm)^3 = 27 \,\,cm^3

then the density becomes:

density=\frac{mass}{Vol} =\frac{25}{27} \,\frac{g}{cm^3} \approx 0.926 \,\frac{g}{cm^3}

A hydraulic press must be used to press-fit two components together in an assembly process. the system must generate at least 77
Kobotan [32]
The pressure generated by the piston at the input cylinder must be:

p = F / A = 250 lb-f / 30 in^2


The pressure generated by the piston at the output cylinders is p = F / A = 775 lb-f / A.


Pascal principle rules that both pressures are equal, so:


250 lb-f / 30 in^2 = 775 lb-f / A => A = 775 lb-f * 30 in^2 / 250 lb-f = 93 in^2


Gvien that each output cylinder are 30in^2 you need 93 / 30 = 3.1 cylinders.


Which means that at least you need 4 cylinders to generate a force at least of 775 lb-f.
