Show that atmosphere exerts pressure.

Physics
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Put in some little water in a can and boil it until all the water evaporates. While being careful, cover the can with its lid so that it is airtight. Pour very cold water on the can and you'll observe the can crumbles inwards. This is due to atmospheric pressure which is higher on the outside of the can than inside.

Another observation is during siphoning.  Put one end of a pipe inside a tank with water and suck out the air in the pipe on the other end (Remember the end you suck on must be at a lower level than the water level in the tank – this creates a potential difference). You notice that when sucking out all the air in the pipe and the water starts exiting the end, it continues to draw water from the tank with no more sucking. This is also due to atmospheric pressure applying to the water in the tank.

A solid circular disk has a mass of 1.2 kg and a radius of 0.16m. Each of three identical thin rods has a mass of 0.16kg. The ro
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.027648 kgm²

Explanation:

M = Mass of disc = 1.2 kg

r = Radius of disc = 0.16 m

m = Mass of rod = 0.16 kg

R = Rod distance = 0.16 m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by

I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}Mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}1.2\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.01536\ kgm^2

Moment of inertia of the three rods

I_2=3mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=3\times 0.16\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.012288\ kgm^2

The total moment of inertia is given by

I=I_1+I_2=0.01536+0.012288\\\Rightarrow I=0.027648\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the stool with respect to an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center is 0.027648 kgm²

 F=friction,µ=coefficient , R=reaction = mg 

use same equation for b part, but the reaction is no longer mg because the plain is now inclined. Draw a forces diagram and you will see that the reaction force can be calculated from the weight of the object and inclination of the plain using trigonometry.</span>
