First of all, we need to figure out what is the resistance in that line. In this problem, the total resistance is not given directly, but we can calculate it because we know it in terms of 0.51 Ω/km and since the distance from the power station to the city is 156km, then:
So we can calculate the power loss as:
Finally, the power loss due to resistance in the line is 96.09MW
Answer:
Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases
Explanation:
First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.
This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:
"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".
Mathematically:
where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.
