Answer with Explanation:

The capillary rise in 2 parallel plates immersed in a liquid is given by the formula

h=\frac{2\sigma cos(\alpha )}{\rho gd}

where

\sigma is the surface tension of the liquid

\alpha is the contact angle of the liquid

\rho is density of liquid

'g' is acceleratioj due to gravity

'd' is seperation between thje plates

Part a) When the liquid is water:

For water and glass we have

\sigma =7.28\times 10^{-2}N/m

\alpha =0

\rho _{w}=1000kg/m^3

Applying the values we get

h=\frac{2\times 7.28\times 10^{-2}cos(0)}{1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=7.39mm

Part b) When the liquid is mercury:

For mercury and glass we have

\sigma =485.5\times 10^{-3}N/m

\alpha =138^o

\rho _{w}=13.6\times 10^{3}kg/m^3

Applying the values we get

h=\frac{2\times 485.5\times 10^{-3}cos(138)}{13.6\times 1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=-2.704mm

The negative sign indicates that there is depression in mercury in the tube.

A teacher tells her​ students, "When you do your math homework​ assignments, you must use white lined paper.​ Please, no​ tear-o
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The white lined paper

Explanation:

The teacher is most likely putting the while line paper in jeopardy because of the detail process involved in taking care of the paper prior to the submission of the home work.

The fact that a mistake must not be visible due to the instruction of every erasures being thorough and clean.  this can cause jeopardy to the paper.

In the fully developed region of flow in a circular pipe, does the velocity profile change in the flow direction?
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>No, the velocity profile does not change in the flow direction.</em>

Explanation:

In a fluid flow in a circular pipe, the boundary layer thickness increases in the direction of flow, until it reaches the center of the pipe, and fill the whole pipe. If the density, and other properties of the fluid does not change either by heating or cooling of the pipe, <em>then the velocity profile downstream becomes fully developed, and constant, and does not change in the direction of flow.</em>

In the circuit below I 1=20mA V1=10 R1=400 R2=2000 R3=1000. Use node analysis to find R2
Hatshy [7]

Answer:0.2A

Explanation:

First, write KCL

i1-i2-i3=0

Then, replace currents with viltages and resistors.

V2-10v/100-v2/200-v2/400=0

V2-40=0

V2=40v

In an air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy and 50KJ of heat are rejected to the cooling wate
lozanna [386]

Answer:

work is 50 kj

Explanation:

Given  data

heat (Q) = 50 kj

To find out

work input for the compression stroke per kilogram of air

Solution

we will apply here "first law of thermodynamics" i.e.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, subject to the principle of conservation of energy, that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transferred from one location to another  location. i.e.

ΔU = Q – W                        ................1

here ΔU is change in internal energy, Q is heat and W is work done

here U = 0 because air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy in question

so that by equation 1

Q = W

and Q = 50

so work will be 50 kj
