On a given day, a barometer at the base of the Washington Monument reads 29.97 in. of mercury. What would the barometer reading

be when you carry it up to the observation deck 500 ft above the base of the monument?

Answer:

The barometer reading will be 29.43 in

Explanation:

Using the formula of pressure variation

p2 - p1 = -yair * H

= 7.65 * $10^{-2} \frac{lb}{ft^{3} } * 500 ft\\$

= 38.5 $\frac{lb}{ft^{2} }$

According to the relationship between the pressure and the height of the mercury column

p = yHg * h --> where yHg and h is the barometer reading

yHg $(\frac{29.97}{12} ft)$ - yHg * h1 = 38.5 $\frac{lb}{ft^{2} }$

h1 = ( $\frac{29.97}{12} ft$ ) - $\frac{38.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{2} } }{847 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} } }$

$[(\frac{29.97}{12} ft) - 0.0455 ft] - 12 \frac{in}{ft} \\\\h1 = 29.43 in$

A motor driven water pump operates with an inlet pressure of 96 kPa (absolute) and mass flow rate of 120 kg/min. The motor consu

Answer:

The maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

Explanation:

The equation expressing the relationship of the power input of a pump can be computed as:

$E _{pump,u} = \dfrac{m(P_2-P_1)}{\rho}$

where;

m = mass flow rate = 120 kg/min

the pressure at the inlet $P_1$ = 96 kPa

the pressure at the exit $P_2$ = ???

the pressure $\rho$ = 1000 kg/m³

∴

$0.8 \times 10^{3} \ W = \dfrac{(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}{1000}$

$0.8 \times 10^{3}\times 1000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}$

$800000 = {(120 \ kg/min * 1min/60 s)(P_2-96000)}$

$\dfrac{800000}{2} = P_2-96000$

400000 = P₂ - 96000

400000 + 96000 = P₂

P₂ = 496000 Pa

P₂ = 496 kPa

Thus, the maximum water pressure at the discharge of the pump (exit) = 496 kPa

How can you evaluate whether the slope of the dependent variable with an independent variable is the same for each level of the

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

By running multiple regression with dummy variables

Explanation:

A dummy variable is a variable that takes on the value 1 or 0. Dummy variables are also called binary

variables. Multiple regression expresses a dependent, or response, variable as a linear

function of two or more independent variables. The slope is the change in the response variable. Therefore, we have to run a multiple regression analysis when the variables are measured in the same measurement.The number of dummy variables you will need to capture a categorical variable

will be one less than the number of categories. When there is no obvious order to the categories or when there are three or more categories and differences between them are not all assumed to be equal, such variables need to be coded as dummy variables for inclusion into a regression model.

A rigid tank having 25 m3 volume initially contains air having a density of 1.25 kg/m3, then more air is supplied to the tank fr

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$\Delta m = 102.25\,kg$

Explanation:

The mass inside the rigid tank before the high pressure stream enters is:

$m_{o} = \rho_{air}\cdot V_{tank}$

$m_{o} = (1.25\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})$

$m_{o} = 31.25\,kg$

The final mass inside the rigid tank is:

$m_{f} = \rho \cdot V_{tank}$

$m_{f} = (5.34\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (25\,m^{3})$

$m_{f}= 133.5\,kg$

The supplied air mass is:

$\Delta m = m_{f}-m_{o}$

$\Delta m = 133.5\,kg-31.25\,kg$

$\Delta m = 102.25\,kg$
