Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm

until the height of the alcohol column is 20cm. The two liquids do not mix. What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol?

Answer:

7.5 cm

Explanation:

In the figure we can see a sketch of the problem. We know that at the bottom of the U-shaped tube the pressure is equal in both branches. Defining \rho_A: Ethyl alcohol density and \rho_G: Glycerin density , we can write:

\rho_A\times g \times h_1 + \rho_G \times g \times h_2 = \rho_G \times g \times h_3

Simplifying:

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_3 - h_2) (1)

On the other hand:

h_1 + h_2 = \Delta h + h_3

Rearranging:

h_1 - \Delta h = h_3 - h_2 (2)

Replacing  (2) in (1):

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_1 - \Delta h)

Rearranging:

\frac{h_1 \times (\rho_A - \rho_G)}{- \rho_G} = \Delta h

Data:

h_1 = 20 cm; \rho_A = 0.789 \frac{g}{cm^3}; \rho_G = 1.26 \frac{g}{cm^3}

\frac{20 cm \times (0.789 - 1.26) \frac{g}{cm^3}}{- 1.26\frac{g}{cm^3}}  = \Delta h

7.5 cm =  \Delta h

The rotating loop in an AC generator is a square 10.0 cm on each side. It is rotated at 60.0 Hz in a uniform field of 0.800 TO.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square side loop of length 10cm

L=10cm=0.1m

Then, Area=L²

Area=0.1²

Area=0.01m²

Given that, frequency=60Hz

And magnetic field B=0.8T

a. Flux Φ

Flux is given as

Φ=BA Sin(wt)

w=2πf

Φ=BA Sin(2πft)

Φ=0.8×0.01 Sin(2×π×60t)

Φ=0.008Sin(120πt) Weber

b. EMF in loop

Emf is given as

EMF= -N dΦ/dt

Where N is number of turns

Φ=0.008Sin(120πt)

dΦ/dt= 0.008×120Cos(120πt)

dΦ/dt= 0.96Cos(120πt)

Emf=-NdΦ/dt

Emf=-0.96NCos(120πt). Volts

c. Current induced for a resistance of 1ohms

From ohms law, V=iR

Therefore, Emf=iR

i=EMF/R

i=-0.96NCos(120πt) / 1

i=-0.96NCos(120πt) Ampere

d. Power delivered to the loop

Power is given as

P=IV

P=-0.96NCos(120πt)•-0.96NCos(120πt)

P=0.92N²Cos²(120πt) Watt

e. Torque

Torque is given as

τ=iL²B

τ=-0.96NCos(120πt)•0.1²×0.8

τ=-0.00768NCos(120πt) Nm

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.60×106 N, one at an angle 13.0 west of north, an
Juliette [100K]

Answer:W=1.93\times 10^9 J      

Explanation:

Given

Force F=1.6\times 10^{6} N

one at an angle of 13^{\circ} East of North and another at 13^{\circ} West of North

Net Force is in North Direction

F_{net}=2F\cos 13

Forces in horizontal direction will cancel out each other

thus Work done will be by north direction forces  

W=2F\cdot \cos 30\cdot s

here s=0.7 km

W=2\times 1.6\times 10^{6}\cdot \cos 30\cdot 700

W=1.93\times 10^9 J
