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

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life are;

1) The needles of a sewing machine

2) Electric powered reciprocating saw blade

3) The motion of a manual tire pump

Explanation:

A reciprocating motion is a motion that consists of motion of a part in an upward and downwards (\updownarrow) or in a backward and forward (↔) direction repetitively

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life includes the reciprocating motion of the needles of a sewing machine and the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating saw and the motion of a manual tire pump

In a sewing machine, a crank shaft in between a wheel and the needle transforms the rotary motion of the wheel into reciprocating motion of the needle.

What is a radio wave made up of? Molecules? Electrons? Other?
mafiozo [28]

Radio waves are radiated by charged particles when they are accelerated. They are produced artificially by time-varying electric currents, consisting of electrons flowing back and forth in a specially-shaped metal conductor called an antenna. ... Radio waves are received by another antenna attached to a radio receiver.
