A gate at the bottom of a dam is 10 ft tall by 30 ft wide. The specific weight of the water is 62.4 lbf/ft3. If the water is 50

ft deep, the total force on the gate is most nearly:

Answer:

The total force is most nearly 940,000lbf

Explanation:

Total force = specific weight × volume

Volume = length × width × depth = 10ft × 30ft × 50ft = 15,000ft^3

Total force = 62.4lbf/ft^3 × 15,000ft^3 = 936,000lbf which is most nearly 940,000lbf

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0
