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 heat engine absorbs 2500 J of heat from a hot reservoir and expels 1000 J to a cold reservoir. When it is run in reverse, with
Alexxandr [17]

To solve this problem, we must simply use the concept of Total Energy transferred both in terms of work and heat. This is basically conjugated in the first law of thermodynamics.

If we take the heat absorbed as positive and the expelled as negative we have that the total work done in the heat engine is

W_1 = 2500-1000

W_1 = 1500J

For the case of the engine pumps the Energy absorbed is

W_2 = 1500J

In this way the ratio between the two would be

Ratio = \frac{W_1}{W_2} = \frac{1500}{1500} = 1

So it is reversible, because the state of efficiency of the body is totally efficient.
