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

Incomplete question as we have not told to find what quantity.The complete question is here

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.50 nC when connected to a potential difference of 210.0 V. Its plates are separated by vacuum and the inner radius of the outer shell is 5.00 cm.calculate: (a) the capacitance; (b) the radius of the inner sphere; (c) the electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere.

Answer:

(a) C=16.7pF

(b) r_{a} =3.749cm

(c) E=2.24*10^{4} N/C

Explanation:

Given data

Q=3.50nC\\V=210V\\r_{b}=5.0cm

For part (a)

The Capacitance given by:

C=\frac{Q}{V}\\ C=\frac{3.50*10^{-9} C}{210V}\\C=1.6666*10^{-11}F\\or\\C=16.7pF

For part (b)

The Capacitance of coordinates is given as

C=\frac{4\pi e}{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }\\ So\\{\frac{1}{r_{a} }-\frac{1}{r_{b} } }=\frac{4\pi *8.85*10^{-12} }{1.666*10^{-11}}=6.672m^{-1} \\ \frac{1}{r_{a} }=6.672+(1 /0.05)\\\frac{1}{r_{a} }=26.672\\r_{a} =1/26.672\\r_{a} =0.0375m\\r_{a} =3.749cm

For part (c)

The electric field according to Gauss Law is given by:

EA=\frac{Q}{e}\\ E=\frac{Q}{4\pi er_{a}^{2}  }=\frac{kQ}{r_{a}^{2}}\\  E=\frac{9*10^{9}*3.50*10^{-9} }{(0.0375m)^{2} }\\ E=2.24*10^{4} N/C

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>
