The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of

a building are 675 and 695 mm Hg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m³ and 13,600 kg/m³, respectively.

Answer:

   (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

Explanation:

The pressure depends on the height with the formula

          P = P_atm + rho g h

Let's apply this expression for the building

         P₁ = P_atm + rho_air g h₁

        P₂ = P_atm + rho_air g h₂

Subtract

        P₁ - P₂ = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

         

         

The measured pressure is in mm Hg to take this unit to units of pressure must be multiplied by the density of mercury and the acceleration of gravity

           P₁- P₂ = rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg

         rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

          (h₁ –h₂) = rho_Hg / rho_air (h₁-h₂) _ Hg

Let's calculate

         (h₁-h₂) = 13600 / 1.18 (695-675)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm

Let's reduce to meter

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm (1 m / 10³ mm)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

A house is lifted from its foundations onto a truck for relocation. The house is pulled upward by a net force of 2850 N. This fo
Gwar [14]

Answer:

m = 95000 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the house, F = 2850 N

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 15 cm/s = 0.15 m/s

We need to find the mass of the house. Let the mass be m. We know that the net force is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the house.

So,

F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\m=\dfrac{Ft}{(v-u)}\\\\m=\dfrac{2850\times 5}{(0.15-0)}\\\\m=95000\ kg

So, the mass of the house is equal to 95000 kg.
