A 40 mph wind is blowing past your house and speeds up as it flows up and over the roof. If the elevation effects are negligible

, determine (a) the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60 mph if the pressure in the free stream blowing toward your house is 14.7 psi. Would this effect tend to push the roof down against the house, or would it tend to lift the roof

The pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

<u>Explanation:</u>

The question follows Bernoulli's equation

P1 + 1/2 ρ V1² = P2 + 1/2 ρ V2²

V1 = 40 X 5280 / 3600 = 58.7 ft/s

V2 = 60 X 5280 / 3600 = 88 ft/s

P2 = P1 + 1/2 ( 0.00238 ) [(58.7)² - (88)²]

P2 - P1 = -5.12lb/ft²

The negative pressure created tends to lift the roof.

We know,

P1 = 14.7 psi = 2116.8 lb/ft²

P2 = 2116.8 - 5.12 lb/ft²

P2 = 2111.68 lb/ft²

P2 = 14.66 psi

Therefore, the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

One gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of 5.3 terabecquerels (TBq), what will be the activity of 1 microgram?
noname [10]

1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of

0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),

Explanation:

Given information denotes that .,one gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of 5.3 terabecquerels (TBq)

the activity of 1 micro gram is

1 gram = 1,000,000 micro gram has activities of 5.3 terabecquerels

therefore 1 micro gram has the activity of (5.3 ÷  1,000,000 = 0.0000053 )

= (5.3 ÷  1,000,000 = 0.0000053 )

Hence ., 1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of

0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),
