Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 102,900 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the liquid column, h = 7 m

Area of tank, A = 1.5 m²

We have to find the force of gravity acting on the column of water. Force of gravity is given by :

W = m g .............(1)

Where

m is the mass of an object

g is acceleration due to gravity

Firstly calculating the mass of the tank. It can be calculated suing the definition of density. We know that the density(d) of water is 1 kg/liter

Mass, m = d × V

V = volume = area × height = 1.5 m² × 7 m = 10.5 m³ or 10500 liter

So, m = 1 kg/liter × 10500 liter = 10,500 kg

Equation (1) becomes : W = 10,500 kg × 9.8 m/s²

W = 102,900 N

So, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 102,900 N. Hence, the correct option is (b).

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: Weight

Explanation:The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of matter in the object. This quantity remains constant under any circumstance.

However, the same cannot be said about the weight of such object.

The weight of the object is very much dependent on the acceleration due to gravity which is a accelerational pull (by convention-- a pull downwards).

This is why an object tends to fall when it is thrown upwards on the earth for instance.

The statements above consequently infer that since the gravitational field of Jupiter is greater than that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on earth.

And since the weight of an object(W) is a product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity at that point.

Consequently, the object's weight on Jupiter would be greater than its weight on earth.

Please note; The Mass of the object remains constant everywhere.

Consider a hydrogen atom in the n = 1 state. The atom is placed in a uniform B field of magnitude 2.5 T. Calculate the energy di

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Explanation:

For n-=1 state hydrogen energy level is split into three componets in the presence of external magnetic field. The energies are,

$E^{+}=E+\mu B$ ,

$E^{-}=E-\mu B$ ,

$E^{0}=E$

Here, E is the energy in the absence of electric field.

And

$E^{+} and E^{-}$ are the highest and the lowest energies.

The difference of these energies

$\Delta E=2\mu B$

$\mu=9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T$ is known as Bohr's magneton.

B=2.5 T,

Therefore,

$\Delta E=2(9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T)\times 2.5 T\\\Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J$

Now,

$Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J(\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-9}J } )\\Delta E=29.05\times 10^{-5}eV\\Delta E\simeq29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Therefore, the energy difference between highest and lowest energy levels in presence of magnetic field is $E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's

ivolga24 [154]

1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$ (1)
where
f is the focal length
$d_o$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$d_i$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, $d_o = 18 cm$ , while $d_i=-4 cm$ (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}$
from which we find
$f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm$

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
$r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm$

A double-slit experiment is set up using red light (λ = 706 nm). A first order bright fringe is seen at a given location on a sc

Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 470.66 nm

Explanation:

for bright fringe $y_m = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

D= distance between slit and screen

d= distance between the slits

for first order bright fringe m = 1,

$y_1 = \frac{1\lambda D}{d}$

$y_1 = {706*D}{d}$

for dark fringe,we have

$y_m = {(m + 1/2)\lambda D}{d}$

Now to get the dark fringes at the same location we should have;

(706)D/d = (m + 1/2)λD/d

put m = 1

(1 + 1/2)λ = (706)

λ = 470.66 nm
