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.

Gold forms a substitutional solid solution with silver. Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter for a silver-gold
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter = 9.052 x 10^21 atoms/cm3

Explanation:

The step by step and appropriate substitution is as shown in the attachment.

From number of moles = Concentration x volume

number of moles = number of particles/ Avogadro's number

Volume = mass/density, the appropriate derivation to get the number of moles of atoms

An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material

You want a potof water to boil at 105 celcius. How heavy a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

35.7 kg lid we put

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 105 celcius

diameter = 15 cm

Patm = 101 kPa

to find out

How heavy a  lid should you put

solution

we know Psaturated from table for temperature is 105 celcius is

Psat = 120.8 kPa

so

area will be here

area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^2    ..................1

here d is diameter

put the value in equation 1

area = \frac{\pi }{4} 0.15^2

area = 0.01767 m²

so net force is

Fnet = ( Psat - Patm ) × area

Fnet = ( 120.8 - 101 ) × 0.01767

Fnet = 0.3498 KN = 350 N

we know

Fnet = mg

mass = \frac{Fnet}{g}

mass  = \frac{350}{9.8}

mass = 35.7 kg

so 35.7 kg lid we put
