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

Answer:

3. fall if the price index rises.

Explanation:

  • According to the nominal income, the inflation is a one of the major factors that decrease the amount of the goods and the services that would be afforded with a given amount of the nominal incomes thus if the person wants to keep this real income steady for the next year's nominal income may fall as the increase of the inflation in the economy.  And can erode the nominal income gains.

Explanation:

A medium of exchange is a system where it is used to facilitate the sale, purchase, trading of the products & services between the parties

Since in the given situation,  it is mentioned that the seller would not willing to accept the drachma in exchange of goods & services so here the drachma would not be served as a medium of exchange

hence, the same would be relevant

Ben is saving 1/5 of his weekly pay to buy a car Write and solve an equation to find what weekly pay w results in savings of $61
creativ13 [48]

Answer: X=$307.50

Given:

Ben’s savings weekly = $61.50

It is 1/5 or 20% of his weekly savings

To find Ben’s weekly pay in $

Let X= Ben’s weekly pay in $

To solve, we use the equation

1/5X=61.50

.20X=61.50

X=61.50/.20

X=$307.50
