A 3.0-cm-diameter tube is held upright and filled to the top with mercury. The mercury pressure at the bottom of the tube − the

pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure-is 48 kPa. How tall is the tube?

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 wheels having the same radius and mass rotate at the same angular velocity. One wheel is made with spokes so nearly all the

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

C. The wheel with spokes has about twice the KE.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , radius and the angular speed for both the wheels are same.

radius = r

Mass = m

Angular speed = ω

The angular kinetic energy KE given as

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega ^2$

I=Moment of inertia for wheels

Wheel made of spokes

I₁ = m r²

Wheel like a disk

I₂ = 0.5 m r²

Now by comparing kinetic energy

$\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}$

$\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{mr^2}{0.5mr^2}$

$\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=2$

KE₁= 2 KE₂

Therefore answer is C.

Natali5045456 [20]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A plate of uniform areal density $\rho = 2 \ kg/m^2$ is bounded by the four curves:

$y = -x^2+4x-5m$

$y = x^2+4x+6m$

$x=1 \ m$

$x=2 \ m$

where x and y are in meters. Point $P$ has coordinates $P_x=1 \ m$ and $P_y=-2 \ m$ . What is the moment of inertia $I_P$ of the plate about the point $P$ ?

Solution :

Given :

$y = -x^2+4x-5$

$y = x^2+4x+6$

$x=1$

$x=2$

and $\rho = 2 \ kg/m^2$ , $P_x=1 \$ , $P_y=-2 \$ .

So,

$dI = dmr^2$

$dI = \rho \ dA \ r^2$ , $r=\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2}$

$dI = (\rho)((x-1)^2+(y+2)^2)dx \ dy$

$I= 2 \int_1^2 \int_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}((x-1)^2+(y+2)^2) dy \ dx$

$I= 2 \int_1^2 \int_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2 \ dy \ dx$

$I=2 \int_1^2 \left( \left[ (x-1)^2y+\frac{(y+2)^3}{3}\right]_{-x^2+4x-5}^{x^2+4x+6}\right) \ dx$

$I=2 \int_1^2 (x-1)^2 (2x^2+11)+\frac{1}{3}\left((x^2+4x+6+2)^3-(-x^2+4x-5+2)^3 \ dx$

$I=\frac{32027}{21} \times 2$

$= 3050.19 \ kg \ m^2$

So the moment of inertia is $3050.19 \ kg \ m^2$ .
