A vacuum gage attached to a power plant condenser gives a reading of 27.86 in. of mercury. The surrounding atmospheric pressure

is 14.66 lbf/in. Determine the absolute pressure inside the condenser, in lbf/in. The density of mercury is 848 lb/ft and the acceleration of gravity is g = 32.0 ft/s?.

Answer:

absolute pressure =  1.07 lbft/in^2

Explanation:

given data:

vaccum gauge reading h = 27.86 inch = 2.32 ft

we know that

gauge pressure p is given as

p = \rho gh

p = 848 \ lb/ft^3 * 32 \ ft/s^2 *2.32 ft  = 62955.52 \ lbft/s^2 * 1/ft^2

we know that  1\  lb ft\s^2 = \frac{1}{32.174}\  lbft

1 ft = 12 inch

therefore p = 62955.52 * \frac{1}{32.174} * \frac{1}{12^2}\ lbf/in^2

               p = 13.59\  lbft/in^2

P_{atm} = 14.66\  lbf/in^2

so absolute pressure = P_{atm} - p

                                   = 14.66 - 13.59 = 1.07 lbft/in^2

Answer:

a)  fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V,  b) I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A, c)    P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Explanation:

This exercise is about Faraday's law

         fem = - \frac{ d \Phi_B}{dt}

where the magnetic flux is

        Ф = B x A

the bold are vectors

        A = π r²

we assume that the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area is zero

         fem = - B π 2r dr/dt = - 2π B r v

linear and angular velocity are related

        v = w r

        w = 2π f

        v = 2π f r

we substitute

        fem = - 2π B r (2π f r)

        fem = -4π² B f r²

For the magnetic field of Jupiter we use the equatorial field B = 428 10⁻⁶T

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

       f = 2 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 4π Hz

we calculate

       fem = - 4π² 428 10⁻⁶ 4π 0.10²

       fem = - 16π³ 428 10⁻⁶ 0.010

       fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V

for the current let's use Ohm's law

        V = I R

        I = V / R

         I = -2.1514 10⁻⁴ / 0.00336

         I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A

Electric power is

        P = V I

        P = 2.1514 10⁻⁴ 64.0 10⁻³

        P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

A mass is bobbing up and down on a spring. If you increase the amplitude of the motion, how does this affect the time for one os
NikAS [45]

Answer:

It will not change

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a mass-spring system is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where

T is the period

m is the mass hanging on the spring

k is the spring constant

As we see from the formula, the period of oscillation does not depend on the amplitude of the motion: therefore, if we change the amplitude, the time for one oscillation will not change.
