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

The self inductance relates the magnetic flux linkage to the current through the coil. Calculate the self inductance L in units
Katen [24]

Answer:

Self inductance, L=127\ \mu H

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the coil, l = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Area of cross section of the coil, A=3\ cm^2=0.0003\ m^2

Number of turns in the coil, N = 130

The self inductance relates the magnetic flux linkage to the current through the coil and it is given by :

L=\dfrac{\mu_oN^2A}{l}

L=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (130)^2\times 0.0003}{0.05}

L = 0.000127 Henry

or

L=127\ \mu H

So, the self inductance of the coil is 127 microhenry. Hence, this is the required solution.

A grasshopper floating in water generates waves at a rate of three per second with a wavelength of two centimeters. (a) What is
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.33 second

(b) 6 cm/s

Explanation:

Frequency, f = 3 waves per second

wavelength, λ = 2 cm = 0.02 m

(a) The period of wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of frequency.

T = 1 / f = 1 / 3 = 0.33 second

(b) the relation between wave velocity, frequency and wavelength is given by

v = f x λ

v = 3 x 0.02 = 0.06 m /s

v = 6 cm /s

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 16.1 Standing waves. An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 805 Hz , 1
Bingel [31]

Answer: 0.213m

Explanation: The fundamental frequency is 805Hz.

The second harmonic (first overtone ) is 1035 Hz and the third harmonic (second overtone) is 1265 Hz.

The pipe is an air filled hence it is a closed pipe

Recall that v = f λ

At fundamental frequency

Where v = speed of sound in air (v) = 343 m/s

Fundamental frequency (f) = 805 Hz

Wavelength ( λ) = ?

By substituting the parameters, we have that

343 = 805 × λ

λ = 343 / 805

λ = 0.426m

The pipe is an open one and at the fundamental frequency, hence the relationship between wavelength ( λ) and length of air is given as

L = λ/4

But λ = 0.426m

L = 0.426/2

L = 0.213m

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.
