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:

The correct word for the blank space is: Revised Model Business Corporation Act.

Explanation:

The United States corporate laws are regulated by the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA). The Act was born as a need for disambiguation of liabilities incurred by corporations where it was not clear if owners were personally liable for debts of the organization. Nowadays, the Revised Model Business Corporation Act (RMBCA) rules that concept and adopted some other features to bring clarity when it comes to corporate obligations.

Given the following two potential locations to construct an urgent care, use incremental B/C ratio to determine which location,
White raven [17]

Answer:

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Explanation:

The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula

\Delta BC_R = \frac{AW_B-AW_D-AW_M}{AW_i}

AW_C=1,000,000(A/P, 8% , 10)

⇒ AW_C= 1,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^1^0}

⇒ AW_2=2,000,000(A/P, 8%, 20)

⇒ AW_2= 2,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^2^0}

⇒AW_C_2 = $203,704.42

Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49

= $ 54,674.93

Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000

Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000

Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000

\Delta BC_R = \frac{60,000-50,000-(-5000)}{54,674.93} \\\\\Delta BC_R=0.2743

All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer

A)=1.47655 times

B)0.74 times

C)1.94 times

D)26.2 times

Explanation

The formulas and calculations are shown below:

1-A)the current ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

= Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities=[10516 ÷ 7122]

=1.47655

1-B)the acid-test ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated below as

Quick assets = Cash and cash equivalents + short-term investments + Accounts receivable (net)

=2240 + 1681 + 1347=5268

the current liabilities = 7122

If we substitute the values into the above expresion, we have

=$ 5652 ÷ $7122

= 0.74 times

1-C.) the debt to equity ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

Debt equity ratio = (Total debt ÷ Shareholders’ Equity)

where,

Total debt = Total current liabilities + Long-term liabilities

Total current liabilities =$ 9147

the Shareholders’ equity is $4709

If we substitute the values we have,

$9147 ÷$ 4709

= 1.94 times

1-D. Calculate the times interest earned ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated as

Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)

Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax + Interest expense + income tax expense

$1854 - $38 + $72

=$1888

Interest expense=$72

Then substitute into above expresion, we have

=$ 1888 ÷$ 72

= 26.2 times
