A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tanlc The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differentialhe

ight between the two arms of the manometer is 28 in. If the local atmospheric pressure is 127 psia, determine theabsolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the manometer arm with the (a) higher and (b) lower fluid level beingattached to the tank.

Answer:

(a) 11.437 psia

(b) 13.963 psia

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:

fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3

height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft

acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2

The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2

The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:

(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi

(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia

(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia

The 10 foot wide circle quarter gate AB is articulated at A. Determine the contact force between the gate and the smooth surface
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

F = 641,771.52 \dfrac{lb-ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

Given that

R=8 ft

Width= 10 ft

We know that hydro statics force given as

  F=ρ g A X

ρ is the density of fluid

A projected area on vertical plane

X is distance of center mass of projected plane from free surface of water.

Here

X=8/2  ⇒X=4 ft

A=8 x 10=80  ft^2

So now putting the values

F=ρ g A X

F=62.4(32.14)(80)(4)

F = 641,771.52 \dfrac{lb-ft}{s^2}

A _____ satellite system employs many satellites that are spaced so that, from any point on the Earth at any time, at least one
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

d. low earth orbit (LEO)

Explanation:

This type of satellites form a constellation deployed as a series of “necklaces” in such a way that at any time, at least one satellite is visible by a receiver antenna, compensating the movement due to the earth rotation.

Opposite to that, a geostationary satellite is at an altitude that makes it  like a fixed point over the Earth´s equator, rotating synchronously with the Earth, so it is always visible in a given area.

The function below takes a single parameter, a list of numbers called number_list. Complete the function to return a string of t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python:

  1. def convertCSV(number_list):
  2.    str_list = []
  3.    for num in number_list:
  4.        str_list.append(str(num))
  5.    
  6.    return ",".join(str_list)
  7. result = convertCSV([22,33,44])
  8. print(result)

Explanation:

Firstly, create a function "convertCSV" with one parameter "number_list". (Line 1)

Next, create an empty list and assign it to a new variable <em>str_list</em>. (Line 2)

Use for-loop to iterate through all the number in the <em>number_list</em>.(Line 4). Within the loop, each number is converted to a string using the Python built-in function <em>str() </em>and then use the list append method to add the string version of the number to <em>str_list</em>.

Use Python string<em> join() </em>method to join all the elements in the str_list as a single string. The "," is used as a separator between the elements (Line 7) . At the end return the string as an output.

We can test the function by calling the function and passing [22,33,34] as an argument and we shall see "22,33,44" is printed as an output. (Line 9 - 10)
