When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1lbm=0.453

9kg. (a) If there is an uncertainty of 0.0001kg in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of 1 kg when converted to kilograms?

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg

Mass in pounds would be

\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>​
mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.

Nitroglycerin flows through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm at 2.0 m/s. If the diameter narrows to 0.5 cm, what will the velocity be?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

72 m/s

Explanation:

D1 = 3 cm, v1 = 2 m/s

D2 = 0.5 cm,

Let the velocity at narrow end be v2.

By use of equation of continuity

A1 v1 = A2 v2

3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 3.14 × 0.5 ×0.5 × v2

v2 = 72 m/s
