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 voltaic cell with an aqueous electrolyte is based on the reaction between Cd2+(aq) and Mg(s), producing Cd(s) and Mg2+(aq). Wr
Monica [59]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

The given redox reaction occurs between the magnesium and cadmium.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)

A cubical gaussian surface surrounds a long, straight, charged filament that passes perpendicularly through two opposite faces.
laiz [17]

Answer:

The electric flux is zero through four cube surfaces given that a cubical gaussian surface surrounds a long, straight, charged filament that passes perpendicularly through two opposite faces.

Explanation:

Assuming the charged filament is quite long and you are not near the edges, the two opposing sides that the filament travels through have no flux. If the charge filament is long, which you may assume is indefinitely long, then there is the equal amount of charge on the left and right of where you are, therefore the electric field has no preference for left or right. This implies that the electric field can only travel in or out of the filament. No field lines run through the two faces of the cube that the filament goes through if the electric field is not moving left or right. There are electric field lines on the four sides of the filament.

A cannon is fired horizontally from atop a 40.0 m tower. The cannonball travels 175 m horizontally before it strikes the ground.
Anastasy [175]

The vertical movement of the projectile is described by:

y = H - gt² / 2

When the cannonball is on the ground, y= 0 so:

0 = H - gt² /2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2H}{g}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(40\;m)}{9.8\;m/s^2}} = 2.8\;s

The horizontally movement of the projectile is described by:

x = v₀t

Solving for v₀:

v₀ = x/t

v₀ = 175 m / 2.8 s

v₀ = 61.5 m/s
