.1 An 8-ft 3 tank contains air at an initial temperature of 808F and initial pressure of 100 lbf/in. 2 The tank develops a small

Alina [70]

Correct temperature is 80°F

Answer:

T_f = 38.83°F

Explanation:

We are given;

Volume; V = 8 ft³

Initial Pressure; P_i = 100 lbf/in² = 100 × 12² lbf/ft²

Initial temperature; T_i = 80°F = 539.67 °R

Time for outlet flow; t_o = 90 s

Mass flow rate at outlet; m'_o = 0.03 lb/s

Final pressure; P_f = 30 lbf/in² = 30 × 12² lbf/ft²

Now, from ideal gas equation,

Pv = RT

Where v is initial specific volume

R is ideal gas constant = 53.33 ft.lbf/°R

Thus;

v = RT/P

v_i = 53.33 × 539.67/(100 × 12²)

v_i = 2 ft³/lb

Formula for initial mass is;

m_i = V/v_i

m_i = 8/2

m_i = 4 lb

Now change in mass is given as;

Δm = m'_o × t_o

Δm = 0.03 × 90

Δm = 2.7 lb

Now,

m_f = m_i - Δm

Thus; m_f = 4 - 2.7

m_f = 1.3 lb

Similarly in above;

v_f = V/m_f

v_f = 8/1.3

v_f = 6.154 ft³/lb

Again;

Pv = RT

Thus;

T_f = P_f•v_f/R

T_f = (30 × 12² × 6.154)/53.33

T_f = 498.5°R

Converting to °F gives;

T_f = 38.83°F

Once Kate's kite reaches a height of 50 ft (above her hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing 7 ft d

Margaret [11]

Answer:

dz = 7.136 (answer)

Explanation:

given height for kate's kite = 50 ft (say y)

due to drift it move towards east = dx = 7 ft

string maximum length = 107 ft ( say z)

we have to find change in z

that is dz

it will form a right angle triangle for x , y and z where x is base y is height and z is hypotenuse

so we get according to Pythagoras Theorem

$z^2 = x^2+y^2\\$ ...............(i)

by derivative both side consider y as constant

$2zdz = 2xdx\\dz = {xdx }/z$

from (i) equation

$x = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}$

$dz = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}dx/z$

now put the value and find dz

$dz = (\sqrt{120^2-50^2)}7/107\\ =((\sqrt{14400 -2500} )\times7)/107$

after solving these we get

$dz =\frac{109.08\times7}{107}$

dz = 7.136 (answer)

An object weighs 79.1 N in air. When it is suspended from a force scale and completely immersed in water the scale reads 21.8 N.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(a). The density of the object is 1382 kg/m³.

(b). The density of the oil is 536.4 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in air = 79.1 N

Weight in water = 21.8 N

Weight in oil = 48.4 N

We need to calculate the volume of object

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=W_{air}=W_{water}$

$F_{b}=79.1-21.8$

$F_{b}=57.3\ N$

$F_{b}=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$57.3=1000\times V\times 9.8$

$V=\dfrac{57.3}{1000\times9.8}$

$V=5.84\times10^{-3}\ m^3$

We need to calculate the density

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=\rho Vg$

$79.1=\rho\times5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8$

$\rho=\dfrac{79.1}{5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8}$

$\rho=1382\ kg/m^3$

The density of the object is 1382 kg/m³.

(b). We need to calculate the volume of object

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=W_{air}=W_{oil}$

$F_{b}=79.1-48.4$

$F_{b}=30.7\ N$

We need to calculate the density

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=\rho_{oil} Vg$

$30.7=\rho_{oil}\times5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8$

$\rho_{oil}=\dfrac{30.7}{5.84\times10^{-3}\times9.8}$

$\rho=536.4\ kg/m^3$

The density of the oil is 536.4 kg/m³.

Hence, This is the required solution.
