The storage coefficient of a confined aquifer is 6.8x10-4 determined by a pumping test. The thickness of the aquifer is 50 m and

the porosity is 25%. Determine the fractions of the storage attributable to the expansibility of water and compressibility of the aquifer skeleton in terms of percentages of the storage coefficient of the aquifer.

Answer

given,

storage coefficient, S = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴

thickness of aquifer, t = 50 m

porosity of the aquifer, n = 25 % = 0.25

Density of the water, γ = 9810 N/m³

Compressibilty of water,β = 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ m²/N

We know,

S = γ t(nβ + α)

where, α is the compressibility of the aquifer

6.8 x 10⁻⁴ =9810 x 50 x (0.25 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰+ α)

α = 1.269 x 10⁻⁹ m²/N

Expansability of water

= n t β γ

= 0.25 x 50 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ x 9810

= 5.73 x 10⁻⁵

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

So

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

So

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

So

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, if the uncertainty in the speed of an electron is 3.5 × 103 m/s, the uncertai

GREYUIT [131]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uncertainty in the speed of an electron, $\Delta v=3.5\times 10^3\ m/s$

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta x$ is the uncertainty in the position of an electron

Since, $\Delta p=m\Delta v$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi.m \Delta v}$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.5\times 10^3}$

$\Delta x=1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m$

So, the uncertainty in its position is $1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1683 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f

artcher [175]

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg = ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N
