How is mercury barometer constructed ?​

Physics
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

A closely wound, circular coil with radius 2.50 cmcm has 740 turns. Part A What must the current in the coil be if the magnetic
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The current in the coil is 4.086 A

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular coil, R = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

number of turns of the circular coil, N = 740 turns

magnetic field at the center of the coil, B = 0.076 T

The magnetic field at the center of the coil is given by;

B = \frac{N\mu_o I}{2R}

where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m/A

I is the current in the coil

R is radius of the coil

N is the number of turns of the coil

The current in the circular coil is given by

B = \frac{N\mu_o I}{2R} \\\\I = \frac{2BR}{N\mu_o} \\\\I =\frac{2*0.076*0.025}{740*4\pi*10^{-7}} \\\\I = 4.086 \ A

Therefore, the current in the coil is 4.086 A

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.
