Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa

ter is placed above the Hg. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the test tube if the atmospheric pressure is 756 mm Hg. Use a density of 13.55 g/cm3 for Hg and 0.998 g/cm3 for water. Give the answer in terms of dyn/cm2, psia, and kN/m2. See Appendix A.1 for conversion factors.

Answer:

1170839.28 dyn/cm^2

16.9816 psia

117.083928 kN/m^2

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water (P_{w}) and mercury(P_{Hg}), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

P= \rho g h (*)

where \rho is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations (P_{atm}, height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( P_{atm}, P_{w} and P_{Hg}). Note that the units "x" mmHg  means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}

mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O

And pressure of water in mmHg is

0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg

The absolute pressure is:

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246  = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/cm^2 to kN/m^2 (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is 10^{-8} kN and 1 cm^2 is 10^{-4} m^2.  

1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2

Now passing kN/m^2 to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The firm will need additional revenue of $90,000 to earn normal profit(zero economic profit)

Explanation:

Normal profit equals zero economic profit or when total revenue equals

the addition of explicit cost and Implicit cost. Implicit cost is the opportunity cost.

Explicit cost = $200,000 + $75,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 + $35,000

=$360,000

Implicit cost is $90,000

Total revenue is $360,000

Normal profit = $360,000 - ($360,000 + $90,000)

$360,000 - $450,000

-$90,000.

This means the firm will need additional revenue of $90,000 to earn normal profit(zero economic profit)

juin [17]

Answer:

I would go ahead and avail this opportunity. Although it is a wide spread phenomenon that one should only acquire a degree in a field which is at a boom and is possibly going to be successful in the future. But times keep changing. Fields and phenomenon which did not have a chance in the past have now become most successful with unfulfilled potential.

On the other hand, acquiring college education is a luxury. 4 years without paying for it is a chance that nobody should miss. You can come up with creative ideas to make that degree work. Besides, people do not actually get the jobs according to their degrees. So there is a possibility that I would land a job.

Answer:

$332,000

Explanation:

<u>Cash flow from operating activities</u>

Net Income                                                                                  $252,000

Adjust for changes in working capital items :

Decrease in Accounts Receivable ($80,000 - $70,000            $80,000

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities                              $332,000

Conclusion

the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is $332,000
