10°c

Explanation:

Given parameter;

Lower fixed point = 30mm

Upper fixed point = 180mm

Reading = 45mm

Unknown:

The degree celcuis temperature at 45mm = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we simply compare the mm- scale to the celcius - scale that we know.

The upper fixed point is the boiling point of water

Lower fixed point is the freezing point of water

This shows that both the upper and lower fixed point of both thermometers are the same;

         mm-scale          °c scale

          180mm               100°c

            45mm                x

          30mm                  0°c

Solving;

                     \frac{x - 0}{100 -0} =  \frac{45 - 30 }{180- 30}

   x (150) = 100  x 15

   x = 10°c

The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is 0.30atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the r
likoan [24]

Answer:

P_g' = 0.075 atm

Explanation:

Gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder depends on the height of water in the cylinder

So here we can say that

P_g = \rho g h

now when liquid is filled to height "h" in base area "A" then gauge pressure of the liquid at the bottom is given as

P_g = 0.30 atm

now we put the whole liquid into another cylinder with twice radius of the first cylinder

So area becomes 4 times

now by volume conservation we can say that if area is increased by 4 times then height of liquid will decrease by 4 times

so we have

h' = \frac{h}{4}

so gauge pressure is given as

P_g' = \frac{0.30}{4} = 0.075 atm
