The weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is?
Sauron [17]

From sea level to the top of the atmosphere, a column of air with a 1-m2 cross section weighs 101,000 N.

To find the answer we have to know about the pressure.

<h3>What is Pressure?</h3>
  • The pressure at a point on a surface is the thrust acting per unit area around that point.

                    Pressure, P=\frac{Thrust}{Area}=\frac{F}{A}

  • A particular mass of air is contained in a column that rises from the ocean to the top of the atmosphere. Then,

                   P=P_a=1.013*10^5 pascal

Pa is the atmospheric pressure at the sea level.

  • By combining both the equations, we get the weight of air,

                                       \frac{F}{A}=P_a

              F=W=P_a*A=1.013*10^5*1=101300N

Thus, we can conclude that, the weight of air in a column 1-m2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere is 101300N.

Upper A 16​-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away f
Sav [38]

Answer:

The ladder is moving at the rate of 0.65 ft/s

Explanation:

A 16​-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the building at 2 ​feet/second. We need to find the rate at which the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 5 feet from the​ wall.

The attached figure shows whole description such that,

x^2+y^2=256.........(1)

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2\ ft/s

We need to find, \dfrac{dy}{dt} at x = 5 ft

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t as :

2x.\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y.\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0

2x+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-\dfrac{2x}{y}

Since, y=\sqrt{256-x^2}

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-\dfrac{2x}{\sqrt{256-x^2}}

At x = 5 ft,

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-\dfrac{2\times 5}{\sqrt{256-5^2}}

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0.65

So, the ladder is moving down at the rate of 0.65 ft/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
