Answer:
γ = 0.06563 N / m
9.78% difference
Explanation:
Solution:-
- Surface tension is the ability of any fluid to resist any external force which causes a decreases in surface area of the impact area due to inward compressive forces. These compressive forces occur due to cohesive nature of the fluid molecules.
- Mathematically, surface tension ( γ ) is defined as the force felt per unit length by the fluid.
γ = F / L
Where,
F: Force imparted
L: The length over which force is felt
- We are given the mass ( M ) of ( n = 100 ) water droplets to e 3.78 g. The mass of a single droplet ( m ) can be evaluated as follows:
m = M / n
m = 3.78 / 100
m = 0.0378 g
- The force ( F ) imparted by a single drop of water from the burette can be determined from the force balance on a single droplet. Assuming the distance over which the drop falls is negligible and resistive forces are negligible. Then the only force acting on the droplet is due to gravity:
F = m*g
F = 0.0378*9.81*10^-3
F = 0.000370818 N
- The length over which the force is felt can be magnified into a circular area with diameter equal to that of a single droplet ( d ). The circumferential length ( L ) of the droplet would be as follows:
L = π*d
L = π*( 0.0018 )
L = 0.00565 m
- Then the surface tension would be:
γ = F / L
γ = 0.000370818 / 0.00565
γ = 0.06563 N / m
- The tabulated value of water's surface tension is given as follows:
γa = 0.07275 N/m
- We will determine the percentage difference between the value evaluated and tabulated value as follows:

- The %difference between is within the allowable practical limits of 10%. Hence, the evaluated value ( γ = 0.06563 N / m ) can be accepted with 9.78% error.
A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.
b). No. I'm not sure what transpiration is.
<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.
d). No. Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.
Static frictional force = ƒs = (Cs) • (Fɴ)
2.26 = (Cs) • m • g
2.26 = (Cs) • (1.85) • (9.8)
Cs = 0.125
kinetic frictional force = ƒκ = (Cκ) • (Fɴ)
1.49 = (Cκ) • m • g
1.49 = (Cκ) • (1.85) • (9.8)
Cκ = 0.0822
Answer:
C. 30.6m
Explanation:
To find the height of the tower, we are to use Newtons law of motion to solve this problem. Since the penny is falling from the top of the tower, it is acted by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to be used is:

Where H is the height of the tower, t is the time taken to hit the ground, u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Given that, t = 2.5 s, g =9.8 m/s², u = 0 m/s (at the top of tower)
