An on-farm diesel fuel tank is on a stand 5 feet above the ground. The tank is vented to the atmosphere (the air in the tank is

at atmospheric pressure). If the diesel level in the tank is 2.1 feet above the release point. If the density of diesel is 6.98 pounds/gallon, what is the gauge pressure of the fuel at the nozzle? What is the absolute pressure?
Gauge Pressure = XXXX psi

Absolute Pressure = XXXX psi

Answer:

Pg= 0.766 psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

Explanation:

Given

h= 2.1 ft

1 ft = 0.3048 m

2.1 ft = 0.64 m

h= 0.64 m

ρ=6.98  pounds/gallon

1 pounds/gallon = 119.82 kg/m³

ρ = 825.6 kg/m³

The gauge pressure Pg

Pg= ρ g h

Pg=  825.6  x 10 x 0.64     ( take g =10 m/s²)

Pg= 5283.84 Pa

We know that

1 Pa= 0.000145 psi

Pg= 0.766 psi

Lets take atmospheric pressure Patm

Patm= 100 KPa

Pg= 5.283 KPa

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Pabs= 100 + 5.283

Pabs= 105.283 KPa

We know that

1 KPa= 0.145 Psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

A 10-ft ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 2 ft/sec, how fast is the b
netineya [11]

Answer: The bottom of the ladder is moving at 3.464ft/sec

Explanation:

The question defines a right angle triangle. Therefore using pythagorean

h^2 + l^2 = 10^2 = 100 ...eq1

dh/dt = -2ft/sec

dl/ dt = ?

Taking derivatives of time in eq 1 on both sides

2hdh/dt + 2ldl/dt = 0 ....eq2

Putting l = 5ft in eq2

h^ + 5^2 = 100

h^2 = 25 = 100

h Sqrt(75)

h = 8.66 ft

Put h = 8.66ft in eq2

2 × 8.66 × (-2) + 2 ×5 dl/dt

dl/dt = 17.32 / 5

dl/dt = 3.464ft/sec

Researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the fil
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m
