Answer:

a) W = 25.5 lbf

b) W = 150 lbf

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm

local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2

a) weight on spring scale

it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body

W = mg

W = (150 \times 5.48)\times \frac{1 lbm}{32.32 lbm. ft/s^2} = 25.5 lbf

b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity

thus W= 150 lbf

What's the monomer? Show the structure.
ivolga24 [154]

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.

A sum of $500,000 will be invested by a firm two years from now. If money is worth 12%, what will be the worth of this investmen
notka56 [123]

Answer:

investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

Explanation:

given data

sum = $500,000

rate = 12% =0.12

total time = 10 year

solution

as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000

so time period is now = 8 year  ( 10 - 2 )

so we apply future value formula that is

Future value  = present value × (1+r)^{t}   ............1

put here value we get

Future value  = $500,000 × (1+0.12)^{8}  

Future value  = $500,000 × 2.476

Future value  = $1,238,000  

so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the othe
vodomira [7]

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V_f = V_g = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v_f = 0.001057 m³/kg

v_g = 1.0037 m³/kg

u_f = 486.82 kJ/kg

u_g 2524.5 kJ/kg

h_g = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V_f/v_f + V_g/v_g

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057  + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v_g

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m_{out = m₁ - m₂

m_{out = 1.89414  - 0.003985

m_{out = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m_fu_f + m_gu_g

U₁ = (V_f/v_f)u_f  + (V_g/v_g)u_g

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82)  + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E_{in -  E_{out = ΔE_{sys

QΔt - m_{outh_{out = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m_{outh_g = m₂u_g - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
