Two piezometers have been placed along the direction of flow in a confined aquifer that is 30.0 m thick. The piezometers are 280

m apart. The difference in piezometric head between the two is 1.4 m. The aquifer hydraulic conductivity is 50 m · day−1, and the porosity is 20%. Estimate the travel time for water to flow between the two piezometers.

Answer:

time = 224 days

Explanation:

given data

thick = 30 m

piezometers = 280 m

head between two = 1.4 m

aquifer hydraulic conductivity = 50 m

porosity = 20%

solution

we get here average pole velocity that is get by using Darcy law that is

Va = $\frac{k}{\eta } \times \frac{\Delta h}{L}$ ................1

here Va is average pole velocity and k is hydraulic conductivity and $\eta$ is porosity

here v is = $k \times \frac{dh}{dl}$ ...........2

v = 50 × $\frac{1.4}{280}$

v = 0.25 m/day

and here average linear velocity Va will be

Va = $\frac{v}{\eta }$

Va = $\frac{0.25}{0.2}$

Va = 1.25 m/day

travel time for water will be

time = $\frac{280}{1.25}$

time = 224 days

If two statements are inconsistent with each other, at least one of them must be false. a)-True b)-False

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a)- True

Explanation:

If two statements are inconsistent with each other it means that they are not telling the same, if they are not telling the same it means that only one of them COULD be true, but there is a third option where the two statements are wrong and non statement is telling the true...so:

If we have two statements inconsistent with each other, AT LEAST one of the statements is false.

If a driver must drive when their signal lights or taillights aren't operating properly, they may instead signal by using their

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Left arm because the driver seat is on the left, so it would be easier, and safer, to use your left arm.

But, if you live in an area in which the driver seat is on the <em>right</em>, then it would be the right arm.

A fluid with a relative density of 0.9 flows in a pipe which is 12 m long and lies at an angle of 60° to the horizontal At the t

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

$Q=7.3\times 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

Given that

At top $d_2=30 mm,P_2=860 KPa ,P_1=1000 KPa,d_1=85 mm$

$\rho =900\dfrac{Kg}{m^3}$

We know that

$\dfrac{P_1}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\dfrac{P_2}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2$

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\left(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}\right)^2$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\left(\dfrac{30}{85}\right)^2$

$V_2=8.02V_1$

$Z_2=12 sin60^{\circ}$

$\dfrac{1000\times 1000}{900\times 9.81}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2\times 9.81}+0=\dfrac{860\times 1000}{900\times 9.81 }+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2\times 9.81}+12 sin60^{\circ}$

So $V_1=1.30$ m/s

We know that flow rate Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1$

By putting the values

$A_1=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

$Q=7.3\times 10^{-3} m^3/s$

To find the flow rate we do not need the direction of flow,because we are just doing balancing of energy at inlet and at the exits of pipe.

Light from a helium-neon laser (λ = 633 nm) illuminates two slits spaced 0.50 mm apart. A viewing screen is 2.5 m behind the sli

serg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength $\lambda =633\ nm$

distance between two slits $d=0.5\ mm$

Screen is placed at a distance $L=2.5\ m$

Location of a (n+1)th bright fringe is given by

$x_{n+1}=\frac{L}{2d}(n+1)\lambda$

for nth bright fringe

$x_n=\frac{L}{2d}(n)\lambda$

Distance between two bright fringes

$x_{n+1}-x_n=\frac{L}{2d}\cdot \lambda$

$x_{n+1}-x_n=\frac{2.5}{2\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}\cdot 633\times 10^{-3}$

$x_{n+1}-x_n=1.582\ mm$

In Millikan's oil drop experiment, if the electricfield between the plates was of just the right magnitude, it wouldexactly bala

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The electric field to balance the weight is approximately equals to 3.49x10^5 Newton/Coulumb

Explanation:

In order to be stationary position, magnitude of the total force due to electric field should be equal to the gravitational force that is, $|F_{electrostatic}| = |F_{gravitational}|$

where

$F_{electrostatic}=q.E$

where <em>q</em> is the charge of the droplet and E is the electric field. On the other hand

$F_{gravitational}=m.g=V.d.g=\frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^3.d.g$

where <em>m</em>,<em>V ,d</em> and<em> r</em> are the mass, volume, density and radius of the oil droplet respectively and <em>g </em>is the gravitational acceleration (g=9,80665 m/sn^2). By using the first equation and solving it for the electric field we can write,

$q.E=\frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^3.d.g\\E=\frac{4}{3}.\pi.\frac{r^3.d.g}{q}\\E=\frac{4}{3}.\pi\frac{(1,6x10^{-4})^3.(0,85x10^{-3}).(9,81)}{1,6x10^{-19}}\\E\approx 3,49x10^{5} (N/C)$

(Note: d=0.85 x 10^-3 kg/cm^3 and the unit of electric field is Newton per coulumb (N/C))
