Answer:

Given a tube of diameter d, = 3cm = 0.03m

Pressure Balance

Mercury pressure at the tube bottom Pₓ = Pa + ρgh

where

Pa = Atmospheric pressure = 101kpa

ρ = Density of mercury = 13,546kg/m3

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the tube?

Given

Bottom pressure in excess of the atmospheric pressure = 48kPa = Pₓ - Pa

Therefore, 48kPa = ρgh

h = 48(kN/m2)/ρg

h = 48,000kgms⁻²m⁻²/(13546kgm⁻³ x 9.81ms⁻²)

h = 0.36m

the tube is 36cm tall

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di
jeyben [28]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at 20^0\ C is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

v=f\times \lambda

d=\dfrac{v}{2f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}

d=0.25\ m

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

d=n\lambda  ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, d=\dfrac{v}{f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}

d=0.5\ m

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

0.25 s

Explanation:

The angular velocity, <em>ω</em>, is related to the angular displacement, <em>θ</em>, by

\omega = \dfrac{\theta}{t}

<em>t</em> is the time.

Making <em>t</em> subject of the formula,

t = \dfrac{\theta}{\omega}

Substituting values in the question,

t = \dfrac{5}{20} = 0.25\text{ s}
