This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The chilled water system for a 27-story building has a pump located at ground level. The lost head in a vertical riser from the pump to an equipment room on the twenty-seventh floor is 40ft of water, and the pump produces 270ft of head. What is the pressure on the suction side of the pump for a pressure of 8 psig to exist in the riser on the twenty-fifth floor

Assume 12ft of elevation per floor

Answer: 48.68 psig

Explanation:

First  we calculate the elevation of the building

hb = 27 story * 12ft per floor/story

hb =  324 ft

given that the head lost in the vertical riser hL = 40 ft

now the delivery head required in the riser on he 27th floor;

hd = 8 psig *  (2.31 ft / 1 psig)

hd = 18.46 ft

Now calculate the suction head required by balancing the energy per unit weight of water, considering pump as the control volume

hp = (hb + hL + hd) - hs

hs = hb + hL + hd - hp

where hp is the head developed by the pump (270 ft)

hb is the elevation of the 27th floor of the building ( 324 ft)

hL is the head lost in the vertical riser ( 40 ft)

hd is the head required to exist in the riser on the 27th floor (18.46 ft)

so we substitute

hs = 324 ft + 40 ft + 18.46 ft - 270 ft

hs = 112.46

so 112.46ft * (1 psig / 2.31 ft)

= 48.68 psig

For a two-level system, the weight of a given energy distribution can be expressed in terms of the number of systems, N, and the
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

W = N!/(n0! * n1!)

Explanation:

Let n0 = number of particles in the lowest energy state

n1 = number of particles in the excited energy state.

Using this, we can say that N = n0 + n1

From this we can then express the weight, W of the close system by finding the factorials of each particles

W = N!/(n0! * n1!)

Hence, the weight W is expressed as W = N!/(n0! * n1!)

Maurinko [17]

This question is not complete.

The complete question is as follows:

One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?

Explanation:

a. Using the expression;

T = 2π√R/g

where R = radius of the space = diameter/2

R = 800/2 = 400m

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

1/T = number of revolutions per second

T = 2π√R/g

T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8

T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13

1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute

The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using
timurjin [86]

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.
