A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide suffi

cient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 5.25  105 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes

The image of the water tower and the houses is in the attachment.

Answer: (a) P = 245kPa;

(b) P = 173.5 kPa

Explanation: <u>Gauge</u> <u>pressure</u> is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure and it is only dependent of the height of the liquid in the container.

The pressure is calculated as: P = hρg

where

ρ is the density of the liquid, in this case, water, which is ρ = 1000kg/m³;

When it is full the reservoir contains 5.25×10⁵ kg. So, knowing the density, you know the volume:

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

V = ρ/m

V = \frac{5.25.10^{5}}{10^{3}}

V = 525 m³

To know the height of the spherical reservoir, its diameter is needed and to determine it, find the radius:

V = \frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^{3}

r = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{3}{4\pi } .V}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{525.3}{4\pi } }

r = 5.005 m

diameter = 2*r = 10.01m

(a) Height for House A:

h = 15 + 10.01

h = 25.01

P = hρg

P = 25.01.10³.9.8

P = 245.10³ Pa or 245kPa

(b) h = 25 - 7.3

h = 17.71

P = hρg

P = 17.71.1000.9.8

P = 173.5.10³ Pa or 173.5 kPa

A balloon contains 0.075 m^3 of
inessss [21]

Answer:

600 KPa.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V1) = 0.075 m³

Final volume (V2) = 0.45 m³

Final pressure (P2) = 100 KPa

Initial pressure (P1) =?

Temperature = constant

The initial pressure can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 × 0.075 = 100 × 0.45

P1 × 0.075 = 45

Divide both side by 0.075

P1 = 45 / 0.075

P1 = 600 KPa.

Thus, the initial pressure in the balloon is 600 KPa.

A 0.500 H inductor is connected in series with a 93 Ω resistor and an ac source. The voltage across the inductor is V = −(11.0V)
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

205 V

V_{R} = 2.05 V

Explanation:

L = Inductance in Henries, (H)  = 0.500 H

resistor is of 93 Ω so R = 93 Ω

The voltage across the inductor is

V_{L} = - IwLsin(wt)

w = 500 rad/s

IwL = 11.0 V

Current:

I = 11.0 V / wL

 = 11.0 V / 500 rad/s (0.500 H)

 = 11.0 / 250

I = 0.044 A

Now

V_{R} = IR

    = (0.044 A) (93 Ω)

V_{R} = 4.092 V

Deriving formula for voltage across the resistor

The derivative of sin is cos

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

Putting V_{R} = 4.092 V and w = 500 rad/s

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

    = (4.092 V) (cos(500 rad/s )t)

So the voltage across the resistor at 2.09 x 10-3 s is which means

t = 2.09 x 10⁻³

V_{R} = (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(2.09 x 10⁻³s))

    =  (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(0.00209))

    = (4.092 V) (cos(1.045))

    = (4.092 V)(0.501902)

    = 2.053783

V_{R} = 2.05 V

A student has a displacement of 739 m north in 162 s. What was the student’s average velocity?A. 0.22 m/sB. 119,718 m/sC. 162 m/
user100 [1]

Answer:

answer below

Explanation:

Displacement of the student is 739 m due North and it takes 162 s.

We need to find the student's average velocity. Using formula of velocity.

Velocity = displacement/time

v= 739/162

v= 4.56
