S1.1 The Acre-Foot. Hydraulic engineers in the United States often use, as a unit of volume of water, the acre-foot, defined as

the volume of water that will cover 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumped 2.0 in. of rain in 30 minutes on a town of area 26 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town? S1.2 The Thunderstorm. What mass of water fell on the town in S1.1The Acre-Foot during the thunderstorm? One cubic meter of water has a mass of 103kg.

Answer:

1072 acre foot

1331424000 kg

Explanation:

1 feet has 12 inches, so 2 in is 0.167 feet.

1 km^2 has 1 million m^2.

1 acre is 4074 m^2.

So, 1 km is 247 acres.

Then 26 km^2 is 6422 acres.

So, the volume of water is

6422 * 0.167 = 1072 acre-foot

Since one cubic meter of water has 1000 kg

One inch is 25.4 mm = 0.0254 m

One feet is 12 * 0.0254 = 0.3048 m

An acre-feet has a volume of

4074*0.3048 = 1242 m^3

And that is a mass of water of

1242 * 1000 = 1242000 kg/acre-feet

Therefore the mass of rainwater in the town is of

1072 * 1242000 = 1331424000 kg = 1331424 tons

A rigid tank having 25 m3 volume initially contains air having a density of 1.25 kg/m3, then more air is supplied to the tank fr
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

\Delta m = 102.25\,kg

Explanation:

The mass inside the rigid tank before the high pressure stream enters is:

m_{o} = \rho_{air}\cdot V_{tank}

m_{o} = (1.25\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})

m_{o} = 31.25\,kg

The final mass inside the rigid tank is:

m_{f} = \rho \cdot V_{tank}

m_{f} = (5.34\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})

m_{f}= 133.5\,kg

The supplied air mass is:

\Delta m = m_{f}-m_{o}

\Delta m = 133.5\,kg-31.25\,kg

\Delta m = 102.25\,kg
