A vessel that contains a gas has two pressure gauges attached to it. One contains liquid mercury, and the other an oil such as d
ibutyl phthalate. The difference in levels of mercury in the two arms of the mercury gauge is observed to be 9.50 cm.
Given density of mercury is 13.60 g cm², density of oil is 1.045 g cm², acceleration due to gravity is 9.806 m s².
(a) What is the pressure of the gas?
(b) What is the difference in height of the oil in the two arms of the oil pressure gauge?

1 answer:
Answer:
Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters
Explanation:
First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).
Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.
The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.
Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)

Answer:
y = 17 m
Explanation:
For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position
x = v₀ₓ t
y = t - ½ g t²
let's substitute
45 = v₀ cos θ t
10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²
the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
Let's write our system of equations
45 = v₀ cos θ t
10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.
Let's use the last two
v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t
we substitute
10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2
10 = ½ 9.8 t2
10 = 4.9 t2
t = √ (10 / 4.9)
t = 1,429 s
Now let's use the first equation and the last one
45 = v₀ cos θ t
0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t
9.8 t = v₀ sin θ
45 / t = v₀ cos θ
we divide
9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ
tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45
θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)
θ = 24º
Now we can calculate the maximum height
v_y² = - 2 g y
vy = 0
y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g
y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8
y = 3,376 m
the other angle that gives the same result is
θ‘= 90 - θ
θ' = 90 -24
θ'= 66'
for this angle the maximum height is
y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g
y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8
y = 17 m
thisis the correct
