Waste cooking oil is to be stored for processing by pouring it into tank A, which is connected by a manometer to tank B. The man
ometer is completely filled with water. Measurements indicate that the material of tank B will fail and the tank will burst if the air pressure in tank B exceeds 18 kPa. To what height h can waste oil be poured into tank A? If air is accidentally trapped in the manometer line, what will be the error in the calculation of the height?
1 answer:
KINDLY NOTE that there is a picture in the question. Check the picture below for the picture.
==================================
Answer:
(1). 1.2 metres.
(2). There is going to be the same pressure.
Explanation:
From the question above we can take hold of the statement Below because it is going to assist or help us in solving this particular Question or problem;
" Measurements indicate that the material of tank B will fail and the tank will burst if the air pressure in tank B exceeds 18 kPa."
=> Also, the density of oil = 930
That is if Pressure, P in B > 18kpa there will surely be a burst.
The height, h the can waste oil be poured into tank A is;
The maximum pressure = height × acceleration due to gravity × density) + ( acceleration due to gravity × density × height, j).
18 × 10^3 = (height, h × 10 × 930) + 10 × (2 - 1.25) × 1000.
When we make height, h the Subject of the formula then;
Approximately, Height, h = 1.2 metres.
(2). If air is accidentally trapped in the manometer line, what will be the error in the calculation of the height we will have the same pressure.

Answer:
It falls at the same speed in both cases.
Explanation:
If I were standing still the phone would be in free fall after slipping out of my hand.
I set a frame of reference with origin on the ground and the positive Y axis pointing up.
It would slip at t0 = 0, from a position Y0 = 5 ft, with a speed of Vy0 = 0.
It would be subject to an gravitational acceleration of -32.2 ft/s^2.
Since acceleration is constant:
Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * 4 * t^2
When it hits the floor at t1 it will be at Y(t1) = 0
0 = 5 + 0 * t1 - 16.1 * t1^2
16.1 * t1^2 = 5
t1^2 = 5 / 16.1
If the elevator is standing still it would take 0.55 s to hit the ground.
Now, if the elevator is moving up at 10 ft/s.
The frame of reference will have its origin at the place the floor of the elevator is at t = 0, and stay there as the elevetor moves. The floor of trhe elevator will have a position of Ye = 10 * t
Vy0 = 10 ft/s because it will be moving initially at the same speed as the elevator.
And it will hit the floor of the elevator not at 0, but at
Ye = 10 * t2
So:
10 * t2 = 5 + 10 * t2 - 16.1 * t2^2
0 = 5 - 16.1 * t2^2
16.1 * t1^2 = 5
t1^2 = 5 / 16.1
It falls at the same speed in both cases.
