Answer:

It will take 126.84 years to pay off the debt

Explanation:

Total debt = $14,000,000,000,000.00

Paid $3,500 per second

Number of seconds to pay off the debt will be:

14 ×10^12 /3500

Number of seconds = 4× 10^9 seconds

Converting seconds to year:

I second = 3.171 ×10^-8 calendar year

Therefore, number of years it will take to pay off $14 Trillion =( 4 ×10^9 ) × ( 3.171 × 10^-8)

Number of years = 126.84 years

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

If a box is pulled with a force of 100 N at an angle of 25
love history [14]

The X and Y components of the force are 90.63 Newton and 42.26 Newton respectively.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force = 100 Newton.
  • Angle of inclination = 25°

To determine the X and Y components of the force:

<h3>The horizontal component (X) of a force:</h3>

Mathematically, the horizontal component of a force is given by this formula:

F_x = Fcos \theta\\\\F_x =100 \times cos25\\\\F_x =100 \times 0.9063

Fx = 90.63 Newton.

<h3>The vertical component (Y) of tensional force:</h3>

Mathematically, the vertical component of a force is given by this formula:

F_y = Fsin \theta\\\\F_y =100 \times sin25\\\\F_y =100 \times 0.4226

Fy = 42.26 Newton.
