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

Convection cells in the mantle drive movements of the plates. True or False
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

A car travels in a straight line with an average velocity of 80 km/h for 2.5 h and then with an average velocity of 40 km/h for
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

260 km

65 km/hr

Explanation:

The displacement of an object is the distance moved by that object in a particular direction.

velocity = displacement / time, therefore,

Displacement = velocity * time.

Total displacement for the 4 HR trip = displacement for 2.5 hr + displacement for 1.5 hr

total displacement = (80 * 2.5) + (40 * 1.5)

Total displacement = 200 + 60

Total displacement = 260 Km

average velocity for the total trip = total displacement / total time taken

average velocity = 260 km/ 4 hr

average velocity = 65 km/hr

State two reasons why the rod is not in equilibrium​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

For equilibrium the net torque on the rod must be zero. So the 100N forces should on either side of the pivot point i.e. one on the left and one the right, and in same direction.

An athlete runs at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground?
dimulka [17.4K]

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s

The given parameters;

constant velocity of the athlete, V = 5.2 m/s

let the velocity of the ground = Vg = 0

The relative velocity concept helps us to determine the velocity of a moving object relative to a stationary observer.

The athlete is the moving object in this question while the ground is stationary.

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is calculated as follows;

V/V_g = V - V_g  = 5.2 - 0 = 5.2  \ m/s

Thus, the relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s
